Hi, Iām Kalyca, a qualified Baby Nutrition Consultant and passionate advocate for helping parents navigate the often overwhelming world of infant feeding. With years of experience supporting families, I specialise in evidence-based guidance on starting solids, introducing allergens safely, and building lifelong healthy eating habits.
I used to run workshops and 1:1 consultations for mums but noticed that when youāve got bub in tow and a room of babies, itās pretty chaotic and hard to take in important information.
SO I created Tiny Tummies Academy to take the stress out of feeding your little one, giving parents the tools and confidence to nourish their babies from the very first bite BUT all from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace that you can revisit over and over. My approach is practical, approachable, and applicable for any family.

parents saying nice things

"I was feeling so confused about when to start solids with some saying 4 months, some saying 6 months and I was nervous what would happen if I started too early or too late. Kalyca helped me understand signs of readiness and what my baby actually needed for where she was at. I loved learning about how to look after her gut health and protect my child's relationship with food!"
-
"I had no idea what foods to give my baby first ... it felt like a maze of purees, rice cereals, finger foods, and conflicting advice. This made it so much simpler. Kalyca walked me through exactly which foods to start with, how to make a nourishing meal for my baby, and what nutrients to focus on (I had no idea how important some of these were!). So grateful to have had her guidance."
-
"I was terrified of my baby choking every time I tried to give them solids. Learning from Kalyca completely changed that. She explains everything so clearly, from gagging vs choking to safely introducing new foods and shows me exactly what to do. I feel calm and confident now, and I actually enjoy feeding my little one instead of panicking every time. I wish Iād found this sooner!"
