The question I get most often is a version of "how can I raise my kids to be intuitive eaters while also helping them choose healthy foods?" In this episode, Sumner Brooks, RD and I explore exactly this. What is the role of nutrition in raising intuitive eaters and what is a caregiver's job in making nutrition decisions, especially for young kids? Sumner is a mom of two young kids herself as well as the co-author of the new book, How to Raise an Intuitive Eater.

Diet culture in infant sleep?? My guest today is new mom Kathleen Meehan, RD, who outlines the parallels she's noticed between diet culture and the way that vulnerable new parents are sold infant sleep training, such as "one size fits all" programs and placing the blame on the individual rather than the "fix" when things don't work out. We also explore how diet culture directly influences infant sleep with rigid feeding schedules, prescribed limits on formula feeds and how infant weight factors into sleep training.
This episode was inspired by a post Kathleen made on Instagram, found here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CdOLEDlrnWS/
