Summary

Hey team! We're changing things up a little this week on the pod with a solo episode - just with me, and I’m going to be answering questions about feeding your kiddos and anti-diet parenting that were sent in on Instagram. I'm going to touch on things like:

The systemic fear of fatness that trickles into our parenting.
Genetically determined set point weight.
Why your toddler might seem to be eating more foods at the childminder than at home.
When "fussy" eating might actually be a feeding disorder and where to find support with this.

I hope you found this episode helpful! You can expect some more of this type of ‘sode popping up every now and then, so let me know what you think of this format or drop an email to [email protected] if you have any questions you’d like answered in the next AMA! Next week we will be back with a brand new guest, so hit subscribe now to stay in the loop!
