5 Latinx Feeding Myths to DITCH Now (What Science Says vs. Abuela's Advice!) | EP 09

Ever received unsolicited feeding advice from your abuela, tía, or a well-meaning neighbor? “¡Ese niño está flaco! (That kid looks too skinny!)” “Add cereal to the bottle so he sleeps!”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone!


In this myth-busting episode of Messy Bites, host Marina Chaparro—a Latina mom, pediatric dietitian, and founder of Nutrichicos—tackles the most common (and well-meaning!) feeding advice passed down in Latino households. From abuelas to neighbors, everyone has an opinion—but are they rooted in science?


🎙️ You’ll hear:

  • Why chunky doesn’t always mean healthy
  • How using dessert as a reward can backfire
  • Why babies don’t need teeth to start solids
  • How early exposure to allergenic foods is actually a good thing


Marina shares her own stories and guides you through how to honor cultural traditions while embracing evidence-based feeding. It’s the perfect episode to share with family members who mean well—but might be stuck in outdated advice.


💬 Ready to break cycles and raise joyful, healthy eaters? Tune in now, and let’s rewrite the script—together.
