Trying to feed a fussy eater can make even the most confident parent feel like they're failing. But (and hopefully this comforts you) it’s actually very common. Some fussiness can be a normal part of child development. Dr Preeya chats to Alex Fili, accredited practicing dietician (working with Karitane in NSW) and mother of fussy eaters (not dragons). Preeya and Alex provide practical tips on preventing and managing fussy eating (if it happens to rear its head in your home) whilst also sharing their own tumultuous journeys with their kids and food. Lots of practical takeaways and reassurance - just what the fatigued soul dealing with fussy eating needs. The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.  Guest: Alex Fili, Accredited Practicing Dietician Links:  Parenting Tips for Toddlers from Karitane NSW ⁠https://karitane.com.au/stores/_sharedfiles/Brochures/Digital_Toddlers_Brochure_V2_(19Aug22)_Karitane.pdf⁠ Eat for Health recommended serves for chilfren, adolescents and toddlers ⁠https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/food-essentials/how-much-do-we-need-each-day/recommended-number-serves-children-adolescents-and-toddlers⁠  Instagram: ⁠@doctor.preeya.alexander⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @themummawellnessjourney Books: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Eat, Sleep, Play, Love⁠⁠⁠ by Dr Preeya Alexander⁠ Preeya's new book ⁠Full Plate⁠ is out now!
