#86: How and Why to Get Kids Cooking at an Early Age! Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

This week's episode is all about getting your kids cooking, and I couldn’t think of a better person to help me cover this topic than Katie Kimball of Healthy Kids Cook. Katie and I both agree - getting your kids in the kitchen as early as possible (and safely of course) can have SO many benefits, and instill lifelong skills that will follow them and flourish as they grow. I know from experience the benefits my family has had with getting my kids in the kitchen as early as I could! My boys can both cook exceptionally well (arguably better than me, but don’t tell them that) and I can say confidently it’s because I always included them during meal prep, even with the little tasks. Listen in to learn about the most popular question Katie and I get - what age can I start involving my child? Plus, what tasks they can do, how to progress and grow their cooking skills and how to entice them to get involved when they don’t seem interested. Ps. if you have a picky eater, this episode has some helpful tips for you too :) If you found this episode or any of my episodes helpful, and you know other parents will benefit from them, head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a review, I’ll be forever grateful!

Show notes

On this episode of the My Little Eater Podcast, I’m so excited to chat with Mallory Whitmore, also known as The Formula Mom, to really dig into the world of baby formula and the (unfortunate) shame associated with it. Mallory and I both experienced the guilt so many moms out there feel when they choose to use baby formula and bottle feed vs. struggling through breastfeeding when it just wasn’t working. In this episode, we talk about all the things you want to know about formula feeding, like why it is so stigmatized, why it’s not okay to make moms feel less worthy than those who can breastfeed, and why support for moms who choose to formula feed is needed - desperately! We discuss the common myths about the different kinds of baby formulas on the market and how to choose the right one that works for you - after all, there isn’t a one size fits all approach here!

#84: Balancing breastfeeding on demand and solid foods Nov 04, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of the My Little Eater Podcast, I’ll be talking about how to balance breastfeeding on demand with solid foods - right from 6 months and into toddlerhood! Breastfeeding on demand, also known as responsive feeding and feeding on demand, is recommended up to 6 months of age at least, but what about when you begin introducing solid foods? It’s safe to say, we all know continued breastfeeding is recommended by the World Health Organization past 6 months and well into toddlerhood. This means you have to consider how the relationship between solid foods and milk feedings changes as your baby continues to grow and requires the bulk of their nutrition from solid foods. It’s all about finding a balance that works for you, your baby, and meets their nutritional needs best! Listen in to learn how to manage solid food offerings and milk feedings according to age, and how to best honour continued breastfeeding on demand past 6 months, 12 months and beyond!

#83: Is A2 milk the best milk for your toddler? Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of the My Little Eater Podcast, Stephanie Alexandre from Alexandre Dairy Farm will be joining me to chat about something you may be hearing more about lately, and that’s A2 milk! We talk about what A2 milk is, how it’s different from the traditional cows milk most supermarkets carry, if it’s a good milk for toddlers and babies, the health benefits of it and it's potential link to lactose intolerance and dairy intolerances. I’ll be honest, I’ve heard about A2 milk briefly, and read a few articles about it, but my knowledge around it was pretty limited. But now that I’ve learned so much, it’s actually something I’ll be paying much more attention to in the future and I’m excited to share with you everything I learned from chatting with Stephanie, and her views on what is being named “the digestible dairy”.

I’ll be the first to admit, when my boys were young I truly didn’t know the difference between RSV and the common cold, but with all the craziness lately with COVID, it’s so important to be diligent!
