Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro Fostering Food Neutrality from Baby's First Bites with @raisingbodypositivekids Riley Peterson, RD
#174: Do you ever catch yourself saying negative things about food at mealtime even when you don’t realize you’re doing it? Our babies and kids are watching and listening and our words are shaping their relationship with food even from their first bites. In this episode I’m interviewing dietitian and body positive coach Riley Peterson from @raisingbodypositive kids about how we can create a more food neutral household.
Using this positive language and avoiding certain words about food can go a long way in helping to avoid the charged associations with foods that many children are exposed to very early in life. You CAN create a food neutral household in YOUR house and it can start as early as when your baby is beginning solid foods with baby-led weaning.
Listen to this episode to learn:
- Food Neutrality: what it is and how we can make a food neutral household
- Language: words to use and not use when describing food for your baby
- Body image: how our words can impact our children’s perceptions of themselves
