Our Mission

To inspire, inform, educate, and nourish your child from Boob to Food and beyond.

Our Why

While raising our children, we struggled to find trustworthy guidance on introducing solid foods. But from that challenging experience, Boob to Food was born. We’re dedicated to ensuring that no parent ever has to endure a similar ordeal.

Our Strategy

Think of Boob to Food as your all‑inclusive resource for everything relating to your baby’s nutrition. From self‑directed guides to personalised 1:1 consults, we’ll guide you through each new stage — saving you the guesswork.

Our Belief

We’re all about real, whole foods that provide the vital nutrients growing bodies need. But more than that, we believe in building a positive relationship with food and bonding together through the joys of eating.
Our team is made up of holistic nutritionists, naturopaths, occupational therapists, dietitians — and above all, mothers

My mission is to equip parents with a toolkit full of responsive, evidence-based, and family-centred strategies that bring joy to the table!

Why I’m passionate about health

Even before starting my own family, I've been driven by a passion for taking a holistic approach to child development.

I firmly believe that what we eat plays a massive role in every aspect of our little ones' lives. This belief isn’t just theoretical — it's something I witness firsthand in my clinical practice and in my own home every single day.

Renee Jennings

Our Sounding Board
Dietitian
Nutritionist

Dietitian and Nutritionist

Who I am:

As a clinical dietitian and nutritionist, I specialise in pregnancy, postpartum, and childhood nutrition. Research is my jam, and I've channelled my expertise into writing Nurture the Seed — a nutrition and recipe book that guides women through the incredible journey of pregnancy and beyond.

My mission:

When it comes to nutrition, I'm all about the 'whole food' approach. There's something magical about connecting people and communities through food — it's a beautiful thing!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share my knowledge with you and make feeding your loved ones easy and nutritious.

Why I’m passionate about health:

I'm a proud mama to two amazing children, Norah and Freddie. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working closely with families and young children in a paediatric feeding clinic.

But it doesn't stop there. I put my skills into practice every single day when it comes to feeding my own little ones. It's my passion to educate families and empower them to do the same.

Luka McCabe

Founder
Former Midwife
Former Nurse

Founder of Boob to Food

Who I am:

I’m Luka — mum of three, former registered midwife and nurse, and now a nutrition consultant and founder of Boob to Food. I started this whole journey after feeling completely overwhelmed when it came time to start solids with my first baby. Since then, it’s grown into books, recipes, and resources that support families through every stage.

My mission:

To make feeding kids feel simpler, calmer, and more nourishing. I’m all about real food, realistic advice, and helping parents feel confident — not overwhelmed. I’m passionate about breaking complex topics down into easy-to-understand information that helps you feel empowered and able to trust your own intuition.

Why I’m passionate about health:

My kids — Flynn, Florence, and Will — are my daily inspiration. I’ve been through the feeding wins and the challenges myself, and now I love helping other families feel supported and empowered to nourish their little ones.

I also really believe in the beautiful flow-on effect that happens when we learn what’s best for our children — we often start eating better too. These small changes add up. They shape a healthier relationship with food for the whole family and can even help reduce preventable diseases down the track.

Customer Support

Who I am

I provide support to Luka and our team, the Boob to Food community, subscription group, clinic patients and brand partners. I am a Mother to Daisy and Rocket, living in the Byron Hinterland. My passion for sourcing and cooking real food, and ongoing studies in nutrition, align with my work in communications and marketing within the food and health space.

My mission

To provide holistic support to families through understanding, education, and compassion. I believe that fostering connection through community supports families to thrive.

Why I’m passionate about health

I believe in the healing power of food as medicine, as well as being a source of joy and connection. My childhood memories of visits to the farmers market, shaped my understanding of the importance of where our food comes from.

Connecting with producers reinforces my commitment to promoting health and wellbeing through wholesome, locally sourced food.

Nutritionist

Nutritionist & Farmer

Who I am

I am a nature-loving 'real food' nutritionist and regenerative farmer who is deeply passionate about child nutrition, nutrition education, and cooking. Together with my husband and two children, Finn & Isla, we have a small organic farm and operate a whole-animal butchery in County Clare, Ireland.

My mission

As a nutritionist and farmer, I am deeply passionate about health because I understand the intricate relationship between the food we grow and consume and its profound impact on our well-being. This stems from a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of human health, environmental sustainability, and ethical food production, driving me to advocate for practices that prioritise both individual and planetary well-being.

Why I’m passionate about health

Many parents are overloaded with information and conflicting nutrition advice. My goal is to empower families to make informed choices through a holistic approach to nutrition, embracing the wisdom of whole foods, nose-to-tail eating, and traditional cooking techniques. I also encourage exploration and curiosity in the world of food, and aim to empower children to understand where their meals come from.
