She and boyfriend, Joel Madden, want their daughter to be healthy and discuss everything they feed her. "We talk about it all the time. It's an energy thing. I know exactly what's going into [Harlow's] body."
Richie gushes about Harlow's first food experience, as any mother would. "Her first food was sweet potatoes and she loved it. She ate the whole thing and it was all over the place ? in her hair, on her nose, everywhere!"
Both parents share responsibility with feeding their daughter, but add she's growing up quickly and wanting to eat on her own.
"She likes to do it on her own," Madden says with a smile.
