However, it can also come with its fair share of challenges, especially for parents of young children. In our final episode of Boob to Food The Podcast for 2024, Kate and Luka dive into a candid conversation about how to navigate the holiday season with little ones in tow.
The festive period often disrupts routines, introduces unfamiliar foods, and creates situations that might test boundaries with extended family members. Tune in as we share personal experiences and practical advice for ensuring the holiday season is joyful and as stress-free as possible.
For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…
-
Luka McCabe – founder of Boob to Food, author of Milk to Meals and Toddler to Table, as well as mum of 3
-
Kate Holm – naturopath, nutritionist, General Manager and Clinical Director of Boob to Food and mum of 3
In this episode we discuss…
- navigating new foods (and well meaning family members who want to load your child up with sugar)
- extra vigilance around foods (and environments) that can be high risk for choking
- alcohol and breastfeeding
- setting and holding boundaries with family members
- supporting your little ones sleep and nervous system regulation
- and so much more
We are taking a break for a few weeks to enjoy the festive season with our families and look forward to being back in your ears with our new format from the 15th of January 2025!

If you have been around here for a while, you will know that we are huge fans of liver, and particularly LOVE the Cell Squared liver and spleen capsules as a great way to introduce this iron rich superfood to your whole family. The Organic Spleen & Liver Capsules were recently reformulated to deliver 9.4mg of heme iron per 6 capsule serve. As well as iron (from the spleen), the capsules are unique as they also contain the necessary synergistic nutrients to enhance iron absorption & usability (which come from liver).
