Coping with a Toddler's Fussy Eating as a Nutritional Therapist {6.8}
Listen on:
When my son was 2.5 I started becoming really smug that I’d done all the right things and avoided any fussy eating. Three months later his baby sister was born and BAM fussy eating! In this episode I talk about navigating my son’s fussy eating as a nutritional therapist. I discuss
The one basic foundation that informs our whole approach to eating and feeding children
The three consistent strategies that help to take the pressure off him and us as parents
How to increase the nutrient density of the food you already cook
Choosing more nutritious options of the food you already buy
My confession as an ex-fussy eater myself!
It’s still very much a work in progress - he’s not totally back to where he was pre-fussy eating but I know he’s made enormous progress and I know I can relax as we are heading in the right sort of direction - just as I did as a child!
