39 - Starting with solids: how and what to feed our littles from a sensory perspective, with OT Lori Goodrich

She’s baacccckkk!!! One of my favorite people to nerd out with over child development, OT Lori Goodrich, from episode 4 is back on the podcast today! I’d never given much thought to how solid foods played a role in the sensory system before Lori entered my world. Sure, it’s about taste and texture, but it’s also about oral motor development and how food affects the system. I learned so much from Lori from the best cup to use, to the ideal chairs for kiddos to sit in while eating, and how different foods play a role in oral motor development. Sometimes food challenges can be learned behavior and boundary-pushing, but sometimes there is something beneath the surface, a sensory challenge presenting during meal time. I’m so excited to share this episode with you and for you to dive into all things solid food with us! Want to have your questions answered on the podcast?
