Parenthood

This week I’m joined by Sarah Pound, mum of 3, nutritionist, Good Food columnist & co-founder of Simply Wholesome Pantry to chat all things food when it comes to kids. We are answering your questions including:

🎙 My toddler is on the ‘the beige diet’. Any tips on offering nutrients during this phase?

🎙 Any tips on how we can change up our meals, but not break the bank?

🎙 How much should parents worry about sugar or processed foods?

🎙 Thoughts on offering a backup meal, or should children eat only what’s served?

And so much more …
