Meet our Founder

Hi, I'm Julie

Founder & Head Chef, 101 before one

As a first-time mom, I had no idea where to even begin with starting solids. When we didn't get much information from our pediatrician, I did what most parents do and searched high and low on the internet. The resources I found did not meet the needs of our family, so as a determined mom, I set out to create something new.

I surrounded myself with a team of experts to create the ultimate printed guide to starting solids - from how to get started, to introducing a variety of foods, and family-style meals.

As a busy working mom, I barely had enough time to make dinner, let alone separate meals for my daughter. Family meals from the start™ was born out of necessity and also aligns exactly with the mission of baby-led feeding where baby participates in the family meal and eats what you eat. Parents I’ve talked to like the concept of cooking once, but needed a guide on how to do just that.

We hope our program makes you feel more confident starting solids, and that your little one grows up to be a happy, healthy eater for life!
