What's in the book

Hi, I'm Luka McCabe

I’m the proud founder of Boob to Food. As a registered nurse, midwife, child and parenting educator, and certified nutrition consultant. I’ve dedicated my career to helping families through their whole journey into parenthood, from pregnancy to postpartum to babies and childhood nutrition.

When I’m not busy with work, I cherish every moment with my three beautiful children, Flynn, Florence and Will, and my amazing husband, Jesse. 

Boob to Food was born out of my desire to shift the paradigms around infant nutrition. In 2019, I authored and self-published Milk to Meals, a book on introducing solids that quickly became a bestseller. But as my children, and my community, have grown, I realised we needed to grow with you, which led me to write Toddler to Table, a book dedicated to meals for toddlers and the whole family (because who has time to make more than one meal!).

Over the last few years, Boob to Food has grown into a tight-knit team of passionate health professionals, who I am incredibly grateful to work with, and who helped me write our books.

Shipping & Handling

Production & Transparency

Our book is a higher price point than a book you will find in K-mart or Amazon, and for some important reasons:

  1. We have self published our books, which means that we have not gone with a large publishing house - who can often get much cheaper deals for creating a book. We chose to self publish so that we could have complete control over what information goes into it and how it is produced.

  2. Our books are printed to order, which means we do small print batches and then when they are sold out, we open up a preorder for the next batch. This may mean there is a bit of a wait for your product if you have preordered (which we will specify), but also means that 1000's of books are not contributing to landfill.

  3. We have tried to use small business at every step of the way for our books, so that they are supported too! This includes (but very much not limited to) local photographers, Alicja Sieronski a mother of twins who photographed all the food from her home in the UK and Steph from St. Clement Creative for the graphic design and bringing the book to life! We also use a small Australian company Malpa 3PL to quality check and ship all the books from their warehouse in Brisbane.


Thank you for investing in this book, and supporting all of the artisans that made this project possible!

Please let us know if we can help you with any further information.

Kindest,
Luka
