53: Toddler Feeding & Picky Eating with @theminimedietitian Kathy O'Bryan

Do you often question how or what you are feeding your toddler? Do you waste time worrying about how much your toddler needs nutritionally? Are you eager for your toddler to try new foods and become a more adventurous eater? Are you tired of making separate meals for the family? Then this episode is for you! I talk to Kathy O'Bryan, a Pediatric Dietitian, all about toddler feeding and why most toddlers aren't actually "picky," their parents just need to be a bit more educated on what to do and not do at the table.
