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. Key Topics:0:00: Kathy Bio3:00: Starting solids at 6 months8:00: How feeding changes from 1-210:00: Avoiding sugar before 215:00: Struggles parents face feeding toddlers16:00: Behaviors to avoid at the table18:00: What is picky eating?21:00: The division of responsibility24:00: Exposure to food26:00: Are they eating enough?29:00: Additives, food dyes & seed oils32:00: When parents are concerned with eating behaviors?37:00: What if you don't start early, is it too late?Q&A Topics:39:00: Vegetables41:00: Food throwing43:00: Boundaries with family46:00: Encouraging new foods to stubborn kiddosGuest Contact and Free Resources:Follow Kathy on IG @theminimedietitian Picky Eating QuizSnack Guide for Babies & ToddlersTop Tips for Feeding ToddlersConnect with Kristine:Email - [email protected] - @birth.injury.coachYouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@kristine.mamaprojectSubscribe to receive my weekly emails - https://mamaproject.myflodesk.com/mailinglist
