Nourishing Autism

85. The Mental Load of Selective Eating


Listen Later

In this week's episode of The Nourishing Autism Podcast, Brittyn unpacks something every parent of a selective eater knows all too well: the mental load of feeding your child. She talks about the constant thoughts swirling in your head: preferred foods, burned-out foods, new ideas you hope might work, meal-planning for the whole family, and the fear of losing a food that used to be accepted.

Listen in to learn why this feels so exhausting, why keeping everything in your head makes progress harder to see, and how small feeding wins (like tolerating a food on the table or helping prep it) matter just as much as actually eating it. Brittyn also shares her simple four-list system to help parents organize foods in a way that brings clarity and takes some of the pressure off when it comes to introducing new foods.

Don't miss these important tips to make feeding a selective eater just a little lighter this week!
