About this listen
Ever left a pediatrician visit feeling defeated — or bit your tongue when family questioned what your baby was eating?
You are so not alone.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- The invisible (but real) pressure parents face when advice contradicts their instincts
- Why even loving, well-meaning people might push outdated feeding guidance
- How to respond to comments like “That looks like a choking hazard” or “Why not just use purees?” — with calm clarity, not defensiveness
- What to say when you’re tired of explaining (plus the go-to sentence I recommend using)
- How trusting your instincts and current research can work together to build confidence
You’ll leave with real-life examples, simple scripts, and a gentle reminder: you don’t have to justify your feeding choices to anyone — but it’s okay to stand tall in them.

- 🎁 Caregiver Handout — Perfect for daycares, grandparents, or partners who need clarity (included inside the course)
