Meet Sanchita Daswani Nutrition Consultant for Babies and Toddlers
I am a Nutrition Consultant for Babies and Toddlers where I focus on guiding and empowering parents to confidently offer meals to their kids. By creating the right environment, with balanced and varied meals, we will allow our kids to develop a positive relationship with food and their hunger cues.
1. Why did you choose to start your own business?
When it came to introducing solids to my babies, I remember it being a very daunting experience. With so much information out there, it was hard to navigate what would work best for my babies based on our diet and lifestyle. This experience paved the way for me to expand my knowledge and become a Certified Nutrition Consultant.
A lot of us as adults struggle with our relationship with food, including myself, and studies show this is related to our upbringing and the way we were exposed to food. By working on creating the right mindset at mealtimes from the start, I hope to help create a generation of people that respect and appreciate their bodies and food.
2. Describe a memorable conversation or quote you had with someone that has impacted your business and life.
I remember one client was so stressed out that her baby wasn’t eating much and she was so keen on just force feeding. I had to keep reminding her that only her baby knows how much she needs to eat and we need to instead of focusing on short term – look at the long term relationship we want them to have with food. We stayed consistent and after two weeks her baby starting eating normally on her own. We realized it was a growth spurt and she just needed milk at that time. The mom till date continues to send me videos of her daughter eating all variety of foods by herself. This moment gave me the confidence and made me feel grateful that I have an opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.
3.What is the most important lesson you would share with anyone wanting to start their own business?
Any business you start should be solving a problem. In order for people to connect to your business and want your product or service, they should see how it helps make their life easier. There should always be a story. Money will follow.
