On this episode of Monday Mornings with Dr. Mona, I'm talking with Anna about overcoming her fear of advancing solids for her 11.5 due to her fears of choking. This is a common fear and we go over how to mindfully overcome this with tips, tricks, and know-how.
We discuss:
How to overcome fears of advancing food and choking
How to prepare food with safety and time In mind
How to handle distracted eating
The importance of modeling eating behaviors
