Join Rachael and Katie Marston as they talk about starting little ones on solid foods, feeding pressure and misconceptions and more! Katie is a mom of 2 and CMO at Once Upon A Farm which makes organic snacks and meals trusted by parents and loved by kids and parents. Rachael and Katie dive into healthy eating with kids, some of the common myths around feeding babies, and the important role early exposure plays in your child’s relationship towards food! In this episode we discuss how to get your children interested in food and how to seek out options for feeding and find what works best for your family. Katie answers some popular questions like do you have to choose between BLW or purees or can you do both? And when should you introduce sugar and other treats? We discuss ditching "perfectionism" when it comes to feeding your child and the importance of allowing for fun and sensory play when eating!
