Discovering the Love for Fried Chicken
Baby’s First Encounter with Fried Chicken
Introducing your baby to a variety of foods is an exciting journey. When your baby shows an inclination towards a particular food, like fried chicken, it can be a delightful surprise. However, before indulging in their newfound love, remember that it’s vital to introduce such foods in moderation and consider their nutritional impact.

Hi Mary-Ann. I have a question: Is method in any way similar to the ones recommended by Dr Bucknam, Dr. Weissbluth or Dr. Karp? We tried those but none of them help.
Hi Regina, thank you for your question. The short answer is no. The techniques I share in my guide are based on newest scientific research and this is why I have never seen any approach similar to the one I recommend.
This method really works! I tried it on my son Jesus and after just one week he went from waking up more than 5 times a night to waking up just once or twice. You are a lifesaver, Mary-Ann!
I'm truly impressed with how much information you share in your video. And all for free! I can feel that you truly care about mothers like myself, and that's hard to find these days. I have recommended your site to several of my friends already.
Mary-Ann, our child suffers from autism. Is your approach still suited?
Chloe, I made sure my method can be used with any child, even babies who are special like yours. Please note that I'm not a doctor and that I always advice to consult with your physician because nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of your love.
Hallo Mary-Ann, I'm from Germany. Do you have your guide in German?
Hello Heide, we do! Normally you should already see our video in German. If not, please contact our support so they can guide you
Thenk you for your answer, Mary-Ann!
I just completed your approach and I have to say, it worked almost too well. Yes, it took a bit of getting used to with your bedtime routine but the difference is huge. My son George used to take 1 hours to go down and now he's firmly asleep in no more than 10 minutes! You're the best!
It seems I'm the only man watching this video, lol! What you shared about the 'emotional backpack' made immediate sense to me and I can't wait to help my little girl Mila to unpack it!
Hey there, just discovered your site and this really sounds different. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing :)
For everyone who's still thinking about getting Mary-Ann's guide I want to advise you to go ahead. I wasn't sure myself but now I'm so thankful I invested in this program. It made a huge difference in our life as a family and yes, my baby girl does sleep through the night now.
