The Ups and Downs of Feeding Toddlers

🍽️ Ever made the "perfect" meal for your toddler only to watch it land on the floor? In this episode, pediatrician Dr. Cathryn shares why toddler eating patterns are totally normal, even when they feel chaotic. Key takeaways: • Growth explains everything: Children's growth slows down naturally after year one. Some days they'll eat everything, others barely anything – and that's perfectly fine as long as they are growing well! Understanding this pattern helps parents stress less about daily food battles. • It's all about control: Mealtime behavior is often your toddler's way of showing independence. Dr. Cathryn shares her "cho-cho" story from Grenada to help parents see food from their toddler's perspective. • Different eating styles: Know if you have an "eat anything" adventurous eater, "maybe not" cautious eater, or the common "might like it" in-between eater. Understanding your child's natural style makes mealtimes smoother. 🌟 Want better bedtimes? Join the waitlist for Dr. Cathryn's LIVE workshop "Making Bedtime Easier" - limited seats available!
