Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro How to Raise an Intuitive Eater: Part I with Sumner Brooks, MPH, RD, CEDRD
#210: What is intuitive eating? And how can I raise my baby to be an intuitive eater? Finding a balance between offering a variety of foods and the necessary nutrition is an important key to creating a healthy relationship between a baby and food.
This is a two-part interview series with the co-authors of the book ‘How to Raise an Intuitive Eater: Raising the Next Generation with Food and Body Confidence’. In this episode co-author and registered dietitian Sumner Brooks, MPH, RDN, CEDRD defines what intuitive eating is and how infants are naturally born as intuitive eaters. She also discusses the importance of allowing our babies to develop their curiosity for trying new foods through feeling, touching, and experiencing food without the need to “push” them to do so.
