Created by Chacha Miller, a pediatric registered dietitian and mom with family roots in Panama. As a child-feeding expert, Chacha knows that familiarity can begin long before a child takes a bite. Seeing, naming, discussing, and playing with food create low-pressure opportunities for curiosity, connection, and learning.
 
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
