Today we have a very special guest with Cindy, the baby dietitian and she talks to us about all things nutrition for the first year of life. She believes in not following a diet, but that moderation and portion control are key and that having a diet full of variety is the best way to nourish your body. Cindy believes in only providing her readers with credible and research based information. In a society where the main topic of conversation is figuring out the best way to lose weight, she believes dietitians are needed more than ever to dispel food myths and promote healthy eating and healthy self image. How she got into being a baby dietitian 1:52 Good fats 7:30 Weaning children 12:44 Introducing new foods 16:07 Role modeling 19:22 Top tips for someone just starting to introduce solids 25:52 Find out more about Cindy 31:14 “Research shows that it takes about 10-20 exposures to one single food for a child to be comfortable trying that food and that can be really daunting and overwhelming for us moms, so I always say only provide a small portion so we’re not wasting food.” 17:33 https://linktr.ee/the.baby.dietitian1 @the.baby.dietitian https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/ https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/ Pick up a copy of Journal to Joy.
