From Milk to Solids: A Guide to Nurturing Healthy Eaters
Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Livin'Sky podcast! I'm your host, Lena Livinsky, a speech language pathologist specializing in feeding.
Today, we're diving into how to nurture your child into becoming an adventurous eater, a topic that's both a professional passion and a personal journey for me as a mother.
Key Takeaways:
1. Connection During Feeding
- Establishing a bond during breastfeeding or bottle-feeding is crucial. It sets the stage for a positive relationship with food.
2. Readiness for Solids
- Look for signs like sitting with minimal support, keeping the head steady, reaching for and bringing food to the mouth, and showing interest in food.
3. Starting Solids
- Introduce a mix of baby-led weaning and purees to expose your child to different textures. Remember, gagging is normal and part of learning.
4. Exposure to Flavors
- Utilize the flavor window between starting solids and 18 months to introduce a variety of tastes, reducing the likelihood of pickiness later on.
5. Healthy Foods
- Prioritize high-quality, nutrient-rich foods. Be cautious of store-bought options that may contain high sugar or heavy metals.
6. Family Connection
- Share meals as a family without distractions. This fosters a social and enjoyable eating environment.
Important Notes:
- Feeding Disorder Statistics: 1 in 4 children has a feeding disorder, and up to 80% of children with developmental delays may develop one.
- Advocacy: Trust your instincts as a parent and seek evaluations if you suspect feeding issues.
Conclusion:
Feeding is a journey, and it's about more than just nutrition—it's about happiness, social connection, and developing a healthy relationship with food. If you have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram at lina.Livinsky.
