#444: What if my baby isn’t eating? Is there something I can do to make my baby eat? Heidi Moreland is here to help us stop providing external motivation at mealtimes and start supporting our baby’s internal motivation to feed themselves solid food.

Listen to this episode to learn:

What you’re unconsciously doing at mealtimes that pressure your baby to eat…and how to stop

How to help your baby succeed at solid food, without doing the feeding for them

Why excessive cheerleading at meals is counterproductive…and what to say instead
