I’m Irina Kremsner, a weaning coach based in Austria.
In 2024, my daughter Freya was born, and when it came to introducing her solids, I was faced with a huge amount of new information:
- What is forbidden to eat?
- Which products are good for my child?
- How often should I feed her?
- How can I instil good eating habits and avoid pickiness?
So I began researching this topic thoroughly and applying the information I’d learned. My background as a chemist (PhD) helped me find and process information, as well as understand processes from a scientific perspective. My daughter began eating well, and mealtimes together have become one of our favourite times of the day. We truly enjoy eating together! I realised I want other mothers to experience this pleasure, rather than the stress and anxiety that often accompany this sphere:
- “He doesn’t eat anything!”
- “He’s going to be hungry again soon, and I don’t know what to cook!”
- “How can I give him the age-appropriate 100/150/… grams of food if he’s throwing everything around?” (Spoiler: no need to keep track of grams).
I then trained as a specialist in complementary feeding, nutrition, and eating behaviour for young children, and now I enjoy helping families.
