Feeding Guide

The Feeding Guide is a reference resource with ideas, schedules, and inspiration for incorporating little-space feeding into your dynamic. It's not a tracker — it's a guide and inspiration tool.

What's Inside​

The Feeding Guide is organized into sections:

Feeding Schedules​

Two example schedules depending on your dynamic depth:

Toddler-style Schedule (Level 2–3)

  • Morning: Bottle or sippy cup of warm milk/formula + soft breakfast
  • Mid-morning snack: Applesauce, puffs, or soft crackers
  • Lunch: Pureed or soft foods — veggies, protein, carbs
  • Afternoon nap snack: Juice box or milk + finger foods
  • Dinner: Full soft meal with sippy cup
  • Bedtime: Warm bottle and comfort snack

Session-Only Schedule (Level 1)

  • Use babyish servingware during sessions
  • Drink from a bottle or sippy cup for one designated meal
  • Have a "little snack" — baby puffs, crackers, fruit pouches
  • Caregiver can prepare and serve the meal for dynamic immersion
