Writing Your Family's Food Story with Chef Julia Nordgren, MD
#88: Your baby is a blank slate. And starting solid foods is actually an opportune time to think about what YOUR family’s food story is going to be! In this episode I’m joined by Chef Julia Nordgren, MD a pediatrician turned food advocate and culinary expert. She’s talking us through some of the tougher issues that parents face when it comes to feeding kids: from baby’s first bites through to the teenage years. Dr. Nordgren is one of my favorite feeding experts. She comes to EVERY interview brimming with ideas on how to raise kids who LIKE food and with tips and tactics that everyday families can incorporate...even if you didn’t go to culinary school! Join Chef Julia Nordgren as she outlines some easy ways to help craft our family’s food story. From setting “guardrails” about snacks to getting even the little kids cooking with you in the kitchen (without making you lose your mind!) I think you’ll really enjoy her approach to building a foundation of a healthy relationship with food for all the little people in YOUR family! Listen to this episode to learn: How to set “guardrails” about sensitive food topics like snacks...and why she prefers to avoid “food rules” that tend to backfire Why it’s ok to feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of providing meals for your family on TOP of everything else...but how you can still make food & feeding fun! What kind of foods babies can eat early on in self-feeding that most other parents and healthcare professionals don’t realize that they can! How handing your baby a piece of fruit or a vegetable at the grocery store can be a rewarding and easy learning experience (that doesn’t require a device!)
