In the first half of this book, we did some myth-busting, notably that food before 1 is not just for fun. As adults, we tend to believe that kids have their whole lives to worry about what they eat, but it turns out the opposite holds true, particularly during the first 1,000 days, the most critical window for nutrition and development.

Nutrition fuels growth. You or your partner choked down those giant horse pills during pregnancy because your baby needs extra nutrition during this key window. But a child’s key nutritional needs don’t end at birth. They continue through age 2. Certain nutrients play an outsized role during this window, and some are more important based on your child’s stage of development, including folate and iron. Thousands of scientific papers focus on this essential time frame, and we even pivoted our careers to found Yumi to help people with it.

The science behind the first 1,000 days underscores Yumi’s Milestone Plan, a best-selling program designed by nutritionists and approved by pediatricians. Following those milestones, the dishes that follow appear in order of baby’s age—starting with pregnancy meals and ending with toddler fare—then by meal order, then total time. To help you focus on the right nutrients at the right time, we’ve labeled the recipes with 10 badges: Mama, Brain, Heart, Bones, Muscles, Eyes, Skin, Tummy, Immunity, and Sleep. Each dish contains vital amounts of certain nutrients essential for the various badge functions.

Now let’s get cooking!
