Episode 45: Fussy Eaters & Developing Healthy Food Habits

How do you raise an adventurous eater and stay sane doing it?

In this episode, we’re joined by nutritional consultant Melanie Hadida to talk all things family food. From baby-led weaning to batch cooking and supermarket meltdowns, Melanie shares her personal journey, including feeding newborn twins during lockdown, and her top tips for creating positive food experiences at home.

We cover:

• Practical ways to introduce flavourful, nutritious foods from the start
• Tackling fussy eating without turning mealtimes into a battleground
• Easy, budget-friendly meals the whole family will enjoy
• How getting kids involved in the kitchen can transform their eating habits
