Di McHardy - Mama's Meals
Di first started sharing baby and family friendly recipes on Instagram while she was on maternity leave with her son, Oscar. What started out as a bit of fun turned into her passion and her online community grew. After a challenging fourth trimester with her second child, Maggie, Di started looking into holistic ways to help support Maggie’s reflux. Di saw first-hand the healing power of food as Maggie’s symptoms disappeared. This journey led to her to studying baby nutrition as she saw a real need for more support for families in this space, especially as they began solids with their babies. She now shares all of her recipes and nutrition tips on her Instagram account @_mamas_meals and loves putting her own spin on family favourites.
Mama’s Meals is an online business and community supporting families as they begin their babies on solids and beyond, with a mission to reduce the mental load for parents in feeding their families. Mama’s Meals offers a suite of starting solids resources to help educate and guide parents as they transition their babies to food. Through an online clinic, Di provides one-on-one consultations for families in the first 6 months of starting solids. She also provides holistic support for children with food sensitivities and eczema along with customised family meal planning services.
Di is passionate about educating and inspiring families to nourish themselves through food no matter where they are in their parenthood journey. She knows how overwhelming it can be when starting solids and her hope is to simplify that through her platform, products and services. Di is especially passionate about supporting families in a holistic way to get to the root cause of some common symptoms experienced by babies and toddlers, but that can be supported and prevented through simple yet effective diet and lifestyle changes.
