All About Me!

Hi! I’m Dr. Nikita – but please, just call me Nikita!

I’m a pediatrician turned food blogger, and I’m here to share some of my favorite advice, tips, and recipes for feeding your baby, toddler, or preschooler!

As you can probably tell, I love food. On my days off, I enjoy cooking, baking, and testing out new recipes in my kitchen.

I’m also a practicing primary care physician who loves talking about food & childhood nutrition at well visits. It’s such an important part of a child’s growth and development—and honestly, I think it’s a really fun topic to talk about too!

Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with families about the ups and downs of feeding kids—from introducing solids to managing picky eating in toddlers and preschoolers.

On The Tiny Spork, you’ll find my collection of easy recipes, practical tips, and simple guides for feeding babies, toddlers, preschoolers, & picky eaters. I truly understand how overwhelming it can feel to feed your little ones, and I’m here to help make mealtimes a little easier & a lot more enjoyable for everyone at the table!

I would also love to hear from you! Please send me a message to offer any suggestions, feedback, or just say hi!

Happy feeding!
