THE HUMAN BEHIND TINY TUMMIES
Hi, I’m Gracie.
I’m the parent and software builder behind Tiny Tummies.
I built Tiny Tummies because I knew the nightly guessing game too well: standing in front of the fridge, mentally replaying what my toddlers had already refused, and trying to figure out what might not come back untouched.
I didn’t need another endless list of toddler meal ideas. I needed a tool that could remember the details, help me plan more than one meal at a time, and give me a useful starting point before everyone was tired and hungry.
The problem wasn’t a lack of meal ideas.
The internet is full of recipes. The hard part was starting over every day—searching, comparing, remembering allergies and dislikes, planning groceries, and still wondering whether any of it would work for my child.
I wanted one place that could hold the details I already knew and turn them into a realistic week.
So I built the tool I needed: a meal planner that creates a week around the information a parent chooses to provide, including age, allergies, dislikes, saved meals, and foods that have or haven’t worked before.
The goal is not a perfect plate. It is fewer decisions, less last-minute scrambling, and a plan you can adjust when real life happens.
Less pressure. A better starting point.
Tiny Tummies is designed to help parents:
- Plan a week instead of solving the same problem every day.
- Remember the details they already know about their child.
- Turn a meal plan into one organized grocery list.
- Swap or adjust a meal without rebuilding the whole week.
- Treat rejection as information, not failure.
- Reduce mental load without creating another parenting scorecard.
You still know your child best. Tiny Tummies is here to make the planning part lighter.
A parent-built tool—not medical advice.
I’m not a dietitian. I’m a parent who got tired of the nightly guessing game and who happens to know how to build software.
Tiny Tummies is a planning tool and its content is educational. It does not replace advice from your child’s pediatrician, registered dietitian, feeding therapist, or allergy specialist. For questions about nutrition, allergies, feeding development, choking risk, or your child’s health, a qualified professional should always be the source of truth.
How I use AI—and where a human stays responsible
Tiny Tummies uses AI as a tool, not as the final decision-maker.
Inside the app, AI helps personalize meal-plan suggestions using the information a parent chooses to provide. It does not know your child better than you do, and its suggestions are not medical advice.
For the blog, AI may help with research organization and first drafts. It does not publish an article on its own. Before an article carries my name, I read it, edit it, review its important claims and links, and approve the final version.
I also use parent feedback to improve the app and correct content when something needs attention.
My rule is simple: if I haven’t reviewed it, it should not carry my name.
Tell me what worked—and what didn’t.
A food your toddler suddenly loved. A plan that flopped. A feature that felt confusing. That feedback is useful, and I want to hear it.
Send a note to feedback@tinytummies.app. I read what parents share and use it to decide what needs to be clearer, easier, or better.
