In this episode, we use questions submitted by Unbabbled listeners in an informal Q&A with pediatric dietician Jennifer Anderson MSPH, RND. Jennifer has firsthand experience not only as a dietician, but as a mother of a picky eater. She uses her expertise and life experience to answer questions ranging from “How do I introduce more protein” and “Help my child needs to gain weight!” to “How do I speak with well-meaning adults who pressure my child to eat!” Her advice is based on research and best practices, along with an understanding of real life.
Jennifer Anderson, MSPH, RND is a registered dietitian with a Masters of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. In 2019, she founded Kids Eat in Color, a resource that helps families feed their children from their first bite of solid food through picky eating and elementary-aged nutrition needs. Jennifer provides information through her Instagram account, website, online courses, and products aimed to educate and support families.
