The Pediatrician Next Door - Simple Advice on Parenting and Family Health

Ep. 136: Will Snacks Ruin Dinner? And Other Nutrition Controversies


Listen Later

Feeding your kids shouldn’t feel like a minefield—but let’s be honest, it kind of does. In this episode, pediatrician Dr. Wendy Hunter talks with registered dietitian and mom Sarah Schlichter about some of the most controversial topics in kids’ nutrition. From hiding veggies in food (should you?) to whether chocolate milk belongs in your kid’s lunchbox, they break down what matters, what doesn’t, and how to make food less stressful at every age. 

You’ll hear tips on: 

  • How often kids really need snacks 

    • What to feed before and after sports 

      • When and how to move your baby from purées to real food 

        • Creative ideas to make meals more fun (spoiler: muffin tins are involved)
