Have you ever felt lost, confused, or overwhelmed trying to figure out how to feed your baby or toddler? You’re not alone—and this podcast is here to support you.
In this very first episode of Food for Tot, Kathy shares her personal journey of navigating the often confusing world of baby and toddler nutrition. As a pediatric dietitian and mom, she thought she’d be prepared—until her own son’s feeding journey threw her a curveball. From the pressure of conflicting advice to the tears over a first failed attempt at green beans, Kathy opens up about what it really looks like to find your footing in feeding.
Whether you’re just starting solids, rethinking your approach, or simply looking for encouragement, this episode will remind you: you don’t have to have it all figured out from the start—you can always pivot.
Tune in to hear:
- Kathy’s story of starting solids with her son (and why it didn’t go as planned)
- The moment she pressed the “reset button” on her approach
- Why confidence as a parent matters just as much as the nutrition itself
- How her background as a pediatric dietitian and personal experience with an eating disorder shaped her perspective
- The three feeding practices her family committed to from day one
- Why the first two years of feeding are so impactful for raising adventurous eaters
