Good for you changing your daughter’s diet because you knew it would benefit her health. That’s huge!

[@JoanHenderson-bn1yz]

Being a good mum is making sure your child has the best food for her new little developing body brain and immune system. So happy for you and your family.🥰

[@laurieg6416]

I am THRILLED with this video. I've long thought that cutting way back on sugar for beautiful Miss Blakely would markedly improve her health. (I'm a retired pediatric nurse) Such a joy watching her enjoy a high protein, natural lunch, and then playing outside in the sunshine. You are rocking motherhood, Rachel! ❤

[@ThatsCass]

This is my comfort channel. Literally my safe place. Thank you for being such an amazing family ❤

[@mars4697]

I have walked a long road between my relationship with myself and my relationship with food. Throughout my years of learning and growing these separate relationships become beautifully united! The journey is precious to me!

[@rosalitamarie8836]

Blakely "I know how to do this because I'm 4"....How sweet is that! Rachael you are a Super Mom. Your kids are as lucky to have you as you are to have them. God Bless.

[@pattyfluegel7816]

I have been watching that over-compensation. I am so glad you are changing the selection to contain more nutritious foods and foods that are better for her allergies. Kids can still choose, but if the choices are primarily between things that are best for her this supports her health. I knew this was a challenge for you, and I am proud of you for continuing to grow in your relationship with food. It is a loaded issue for you with your past history. I am sure you will do a great job of both protecting your child from developing an eating disorder, as well as offering nutritious foods to make her body strong and healthy as possible.

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

As someone with a more unusual eating disorder, I totally agree with you. I struggled with food anxiety for many years, it's kinda like OCD with food relating to traumatic experiences in life, not necessarily directly to food. The best thing you can do for Blakely, which you're clearly doing, is teach her how to enjoy a balanced diet, while being careful about the language you use about food. The only thing I would caution you on as someone with a family full of all sorts of allergies, knowing Blakely has allergies too, is to be extra vigilant when you introduce something new into her diet, especially known allergens like peanuts & seafood. But you're doing an awesome job.

[@valerieking7222]

I'm so pleased that this is your conclusion for Blakely's diet. This video is an amazing explanation of what and how....I'm going to share it with some seniors .....I've been waiting for this discovery as Blakely grew since I've been watching you for years. I work in nutrition and do it for my husband who has had a stroke, and you are an amazing MOM and all the dialogue around the change being so positive to the child, could help so so many people...seniors included....thanks for putting it so well...NO JUDGEMENT as everyone is doing their best is the "Best statement", and everything is a positive step forward for everyone following. Thanks, and I'll be forwarding to mothers who need to hear it so well said, and to seniors. I hope others making the change can report in and show the benefits for them and their specific needs....there is no manual that comes with people...everyone is different, and as people share everyone grows. Thanks

[@meganryan9945]

Rachel you’re such a good mom❤️you put so much care and consideration into everything for those kids, they are so lucky to have you as their mom! I’m so glad to hear that Hunter is better-finally🤯Happy Thanksgiving to the whole family 🥰

[@carolynwalker9920]

I’m glad you are taking this decision with blakely and her diet as it is important she has less sugar and carbs than she has been eating. I must admit I was a bit concerned but you are the parents and I’m sure you are able to make the changes. I love blakely especially when she’s playing with Beckham. She’s such a caring girl.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AutobotSimmer]

Every parent is different, even with the definition of balance and moderation. I can tell this is different than what my mom taught about balance and moderation. I'm curious what she eats on a day.

[@adriannacabrera9013]

Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful journey you guys are so amazing together keep up the good work

You may think my life is hard but God has blessed with me with a loving mom. And now I have a little nephew named Grayson Levi and a little niece I love being with my family. We are all pretty much die hard Dallas Cowboys fans, now college thats a different story. Its fun to hear us all argue about who is better (Texas Tech). baseball texas ranges In the end though its all about the family being together and having fun. Football is not all that I like though I love playing games online, if you ask my sister I am addicted. Lol!! Some of my favortie Tv shows include Celebrity Big Brother and Big Brother.

So glad you're making the change to healthier foods for Blakely and as you said, it's a win...it is for sure in a lot of ways. Just curious, not meant in any other way, than just a question, I know that Beckham receives speech and feeding therapy at school which is great and I also know that it takes a LONG time to eat by mouth, but I have noticed in some of the videos that Beckham seems to putting his fingers in his mouth more, which could be a good thing, it could be his way of telling you he is hungry or that he wants to eat. I understand some of the struggles Beckham has with eating by mouth, it took me a long time and A LOT of time, messes, practice, and patience. I haven't been tube feed in many years, but I was for awhile, but I have a strong gag reflex to certain smells, textures, foods, and even at times the mouth guard that I wear at night to keep from grinding my teeth sometimes makes me gag. I am now 55 years of and have CP. I write all of this to say, I firmly believe that Beckham will someday eat everything by mouth and that will be a win-win in the Hughes household. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from TN! XOXO

[@danielleayde2330]

I'm glad Blakely likes to try new foods to her. The walking pad/treadmill looks so nice. Love the color as well. You're doing a great job Rachel. I love the Built bars you shared a while back. Hope Hunter is feeling better soon.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning all happy Thursday morning to all of you guys and I enjoy your channel and you all amazing supporter

[@beatricebieri210]

You make a good job, changing her diet💪 Have you thought about it to eat with her and talk, instead of let her watch the iPad? I think she’d like to tell you about her school day. ❤

[@pattyfluegel7816]

she probably does eat with her many many times as well, and, she is a working mom so a balance....

[@karenkramer3760]

Glad Blakely is eating healthier.

[@estellesiecker9951]

Rachel have you considered acupuncture for Blakely? They use laser instead of needles for children so it's completely painfree. My children both had bad asthma and after a few treatments they never had asthma again.

[@stacieadams1403]

You did the best thing ever. Cut out Gluten also .. yes I'm so proud of you for the Diet change.

Watch the movie out of my mind. It’s just what Beckham has and what he’s going through.

[@lauramagnussonandresen3037]

It's an exciting topic children and eating habits. I work with children Blakely's age and it's not always easy. You are doing a good job❤❤ Has anyone seen Out of my mind on Disney + love that movie, I think it's a good picture of what it's like to have Cerebral palsy ❤❤

You're doing great, lady!!! I have regrets about feeding mine (conveniently/healthful) . Happy Thanksgiving. It's 4:00am, and I'm making deviled eggs 😮 Truly, though, imagine what they look like!!!😂😂😂❤

Eat some veggies. Not the first time I’ve mentioned, that I’ve never seen one 😮

I also have asthma and allergies and rn I’m struggling with ARFID at the moment. It’s hard, wanting to be able to eat but hating everything available to me through lack of food allergies.

[@cleosworld9096]

Omg Yaay Rachel your doing amazing. I’m just wondering if it was difficult to switch? Like did blakely freak out not having certain things she was used to? Or did she ask for things u normally had that u don’t now and get upset? Also what kinds of foods did u start to introduce to her? Im really curious because I’d love to do the same for my child. Could u do a more in depth video maybe? I’m not sure how much u really want online and that’s fine but just watever your comfy with

[@pattyfluegel7816]

I’ve always wondered if your car accident and subsequent early delivery of your son was due to your eating disorder.

She hasn't had an eating disorder for 9 years. Your comment is not needed 😮
