Welcome to Nirvana Parents. Start here!
Welcome, and thanks for being here early. This community is small on purpose. You're one of the first parents in, which means you've got more say in what it becomes than anyone who shows up later. A few things to start with. First, please introduce yourself. Reply below with your child's age, the one feeding thing that drives you up the wall, and the one meal that always works. Second, tell me what you actually want from this. I have my own ideas, but you're the person I'm building it for. What would make you open this community every week? Third, here's the rhythm. Every Monday I'll post a practical feeding tip for the 6 to 60 month range. Every Friday I'll share what I've been building and what I've learned that week, including the weeks that don't go to plan. This isn't a polished brand account. I'm a dad building something in the open. Some weeks will be messier than others, and I'll be honest when something hasn't worked. Glad you're here. Chris

Hello! I have two kids- a daughter four years old and a son two years old. I’m fortunate that they are both great eaters, but I still struggle with meal planning and cooking on a daily basis. our default is eating out as we both work full-time jobs and have many animals to care for in addition to the kids. I am so excited to have a plan built for us that makes grocery shopping and meal planning easy as well as saves us money from eating out. Sometimes we’re good about planning a meal but then don’t know what to do with the excess ingredients. Thanks so much for bringing me along into this journey.
What Nirvana Nutrition is, and why I'm building it!
For anyone curious, here's the honest version of what I'm building and where it's at. The problem first. Most parents of young kids spend a good chunk of every day just working out what to feed them. Not cooking it, working out what it should be. Is this right for their age? Did they get enough iron today? Is this a choking risk? Does it clash with an allergy you're managing? Then you do it again tomorrow, and the answers keep changing as they grow. In our house the hardest part is the uncertainty. My daughter will eat veggies whole one day and refuse them the next, and you're left guessing every single time. Here's what the app does. It builds a weekly meal plan for your child's age, texture stage and allergen profile. It makes sure each day adds up nutritionally for where they are developmentally. It tells you what to prep and when. And if they refuse the planned dinner, it finds something equivalent that works instead. Where it's at right now. The app is in active development. I've got a working meal catalogue of just over 100 meals and growing, a nutrition engine, a safety framework built against paediatric guidelines, and a planner that puts age-appropriate plans together. It's not launched yet. This community exists because I want real parents shaping it before anyone else gets their hands on it. If something I build doesn't match how your family actually eats, that's exactly what I want to hear. The parents who get involved early are the ones who end up with the most influence over the final thing. More to come every Friday. Chris

Yes! We are trying to balance raising healthy kids, being budget, conscious, not wasting good food and making our kids enjoy food and have a good relationship with it lol
