Meet Kieley...

As a busy mum of two, and full-time nutritionist, I was inspired to start My Plant Based Babies when I began the journey of introducing food to my first child. I wanted to create something that helps families by providing evidence based, easy to understand resources and practical guides.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition in 2009. Since then I have been passionate about optimising health through nutrition across the community. Over the past 10 years I have worked in roles in both the public and private sectors, most recently specialising in educating childcare centres and schools on how to optimise nutrition for children in their care, as well as working with midwives to improve nutrition in pregnancy.

This passion has also flowed into my personal life where I have transitioned to a mainly plant-based lifestyle. This includes two pregnancies and raising two healthy plant-based babies. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen and a plant-based toddler has made this even more fun as I develop new recipes such as “Stegosaurus Soup”, to make healthy eating fun as my babies go through different stages in their food journey.

My Plant Based Babies is here to provide support to families with easy to understand resources that are evidence based. The information I share will hopefully make you feel confident that your baby is getting everything they need from a plant-based diet to grow healthy and strong. Whilst also enjoying mealtimes together!

I understand how busy families can be when raising children, which is why I want to make sure you have support at the start and throughout your baby’s food journey. My aim is to help guide you from the beginning of your journey of introducing food into your baby’s diet, right the way through to them being independent and confident eaters. I will read the evidence, so you don’t have to and make feeding your plant-based baby a breeze.

I look forward to joining you through this exciting time! Kieley x
