Picky Eating and Toddler Eating Behaviors with Jessica Irwin, OTR/L
Apr 08, 2024 Episode 6

One of the big goals of introducing food before one is exposing your baby to a variety of textures and flavors. The hard part is figuring out HOW to add in new textures and flavors. I created a free guide with 10 ways to add flavor and texture to your baby’s food that you can easily try today. Go to babyfeedingcoach.com/flavor or visit the show notes to get your free guide. 

Have you heard horror stories about picky toddlers who survive on berries and air? Do you ever see toddlers eating any food that is put in front of them?

Join me this week as I welcome Jessica Iriwin from Rooted in Routine. Jessica is a pediatric occupational therapist who helps families thrive by developing effective routines. 

We dive into typical toddler eating patterns, realistic expectations when feeding toddlers, and tips to decrease the risk of picky eating in toddlers.

We also answer my burning question, “Can you do everything right to “prevent” picky eating but still have a picky toddler?”
