  • "As a nervous, first time mom who was dealing with our daughter's feeding difficulty for a few weeks before working with Argie, I was beyond stressed, anxious, nervous and scared. Argie took the time to set up a consultation call with me, listened to my concerns and unique situation and immediately came up with a game plan to help us. Even at my lowest, when I was losing hope, Argie continued to reassure me and hold my hand throughout the process. We were amazed at the success we saw…Not only did we learn about nutrition, digestion, formula brands, feeding, etc, but most importantly, we learned how to better communicate, understand and most importantly, TRUST our daughter. My husband and I are grateful to Argie for everything she did for us as a family, and can't recommend her enough to families in a similar boat as us."

  • "Argie's expertise and guidance were invaluable during this crucial phase of my daughter's development. Argie provided me with pointers and strategies that not only eased the transition but also fostered a love for a variety of foods in my daughter. Thanks to KFW, my daughter has become an adventurous eater, and mealtime has become a delightful experience for our family. I can't thank Argie enough for her dedication and skill in helping my daughter establish healthy eating habits. Her compassionate approach and wealth of knowledge truly made a difference in our lives. I highly recommend Argie to any parent seeking assistance with their child's feeding journey. She is a true professional and a blessing to our family."

    -Transition to Solids Parent

  • “Argie has been our son’s feeding therapist for several months. His 4th therapist and undoubtedly the best. From the onset she had a different approach aiming at getting him interested in food. She provided lots of tips and resources both at home and to his school speech therapist which have proven to be fruitful. He gained more weight in the past couple months than in the past year. She is reliable, punctual and responsive. We feel genuinely fortunate that our paths crossed. I highly recommend her services.”

Innate vs. Learned Feeding: Understanding Your Child’s Eating Habits
Innate vs. Learned Feeding: Understanding Your Child’s Eating Habits

This blog delves into the fascinating world of how babies develop their eating habits, balancing innate instincts and learned behaviors. From their natural preference for sweet flavors to the instinctual aversion to bitter foods, babies come into the world with built-in tendencies that help ensure their survival. As they grow, their food preferences are shaped by repeated exposure, family influences, and the emotional connections they form with food. We also explore the role of epigenetics and how experiences can modify taste preferences, as well as the challenge of food neophobia—fear of new foods—which is common in toddlers. By understanding these processes, parents can support their child’s eating journey and foster healthy, stress-free mealtimes.

Top Baby Teething Products You’ll Wish You Had Sooner! (1-3+ Months) 

From the moment they’re born, babies use their mouths to explore the world. Mouthing isn’t just about teething—it plays a critical role in oral development, sensory learning, and the foundation for feeding and speech skills. As a feeding specialist, I encourage parents to embrace this stage and provide safe, developmentally appropriate tools to support it. Early oral exploration helps babies develop coordination, body awareness, and self-soothing skills, all of which are essential for future milestones like chewing, swallowing, and even talking.

Whether your baby is just beginning to discover their hands and mouth or starting to teethe, here are my top recommendations for safe and effective tools to encourage healthy oral habits from the very start!

Trusting a Child’s Intuition: How Dr. Clara Marie Davis Revolutionized Infant Feeding
Trusting a Child’s Intuition: How Dr. Clara Marie Davis Revolutionized Infant Feeding

This blog explores the groundbreaking work of Dr. Clara Marie Davis, a pioneering physician who revolutionized the way we understand child feeding. In the 1920s, when strict dietary prescriptions led to widespread food refusal in children, Davis conducted a radical experiment that allowed infants to select their own foods without adult interference. Her findings laid the foundation for responsive feeding, proving that children can self-regulate their intake and develop healthy eating habits when provided with a supportive environment and nutritious options. Read on to discover how her research continues to shape modern feeding practices.
