Today on the show, I am talking to Yaffi Lvova, a registered dietitian nutritionist, teacher, speaker, author and mom of three.
Yaffi and I discuss:
Our biggest challenges in food parenting
Self-care in motherhood and the importance of having your own non-family pursuits
The cultural evolution of infant feeding
The distinction between feeding a baby healthy food and demonstrating that you have a baby who eats healthy foods
How so many rules about baby-led weaning originated and whether they're helpful
The role of a parent's anxiety in choosing to do baby-led weaning or purees with their infant
How infants can learn to eat a family's cultural foods regardless of introduction method
The hard and fast rules about starting solids, regardless of which method of introduction you use
All about responsive feeding and how to incorporate the practice whether you are doing purees or baby-led weaning
How getting starting solids "right" has a lot less to do with how or what you feed and much more to do with your own relationship with food
