Parent Resources
From baby’s first foods to feeding independence, ezpz understands the challenges parents face. We want to help you get started with solids and provide tips / guidance as you continue your feeding journey. The goal is for you and your little one(s) to feel calm, confident and HAPPY at mealtime. Below you can find the section that is right for you!
Intro to First Foods
When starting solids with your infant, you can use the traditional method, the baby led weaning (BLW) approach, or a combination of both feeding styles. But, ultimately, baby chooses the method. Learning about the benefits of each approach and how to safely administer foods can support your baby (and you) on the journey!
Mealtime Milestones
Did you know that there are developmental milestones for feeding and swallowing? We are here to help you navigate and achieve these mealtime milestones for infants (6-12 months), toddlers (12 months - 3 years) and Little Kids (3+). With these tips + the right tools, we can help your little one(s) become independent eaters and drinkers! Learn how each ezpz collection supports milestones by developmental stage.

ezpz's recipes are easy to pull together, made from real food and (of course) delicious! We provide specific instructions on how to serve a meal four ways, meeting the needs of baby-led weaning (BLW), purées, toddlers and adults.

Crafting + Fun Activities
Crafting has so many benefits for children, including improved play, cognition, language, literacy and feeding skills. Crafting can also reduce anxiety, build self-esteem and develop sensory abilities!
Feeding Challenges
Feeding challenges are becoming increasingly prevalent. In fact, between 25-50% of neurotypical children and 80% of those with developmental disabilities have feeding challenges. You are not alone. Here are some ezpz tips to help you with the most difficult feeding challenges!
