Loved this chat with my friend and fellow Dietitian - Brandy Kuebler RDN, LD. This episode is for all my parents (or future + soon to be parents) who have questions/confusion on current recommendations around feeding their child/children. Topics discussed on this episode:

- What age should we be introducing solids?

-Baby led weaning + transitioning from breastmilk/formula to solids.

-Portions size recommendations for toddlers.

-Nutrients of concern + common food sources/recommendations.

-Food allergies - should we be feeding our kids the common allergens or avoiding them?

-Picky eaters.. what to do with them. Why children might have food aversion + what to do about it.

-Language we use around food and how we should communicate with our kids.

+ so much more in-between.

Super fun + interesting episode - I know you'll love it.

This past month my wife and I got to take a ~3 week long trip to Europe (Portugal, Switzerland and Italy). On this episode I talk about our itinerary + some observations/takeaways I took from our trip. A lot of info lol I tried to condense it as much as possible.

I hope you enjoy this one!
