Embark on a profound exploration of childhood nutrition as Katie Ferraro, a registered dietitian and mom to seven, including quadruplets, shares her '100 first foods' approach to baby-led weaning. Forget the predictable purees; we're talking about a solid foundation for your baby—quite literally. Learn how introducing natural, textured foods plays a crucial role in promoting jaw development and establishing diverse eating habits. As we discuss the stark contrasts in dietary variety between baby-led weaning and spoon-feeding, you'll discover how these early choices can shape your child's long-term health, potentially preventing restrictive food preferences and chronic diseases. As a mother who has navigated the weaning journey firsthand, I open up about my own transformation from traditional feeding practices to becoming a staunch advocate for baby-led weaning. This episode isn't just about what's on the tiny spoon—or rather, not on it. We cover the broader implications, including the reintegration of breastfeeding and textured foods for holistic child development, and the ways early feeding techniques can impact dental health, sleep patterns, and even the likelihood of developing chronic diseases. Special attention is given to speech-language pathologists like Dawn Winkleman's role in creating feeding tools that align with the baby-led weaning philosophy, as well as the importance of sensory experiences in learning to eat and drink.What's more, inclusivity takes center stage as we discuss Adapted Baby-Led Weaning with insights from Jill Rabin, ensuring that children of all abilities have the opportunity to embark on self-feeding journeys. We highlight the critical need for knowledgeable therapists and educated parents in navigating this transition safely. Ending on a reflective note, we ponder the impact of early eating habits and the importance of continuing these conversations.

In this conversation, Renata Nehme and Hilary Bilkis discuss craniosacral therapy and its benefits. Hilary explains that craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands-on technique that helps balance the bones, membranes, and fluids in the skull, spinal cord, and connective tissue system of the body. The training for craniosacral therapy is usually a series of four-day workshops, and practitioners often have a background in massage therapy or other touch-based professions. The therapy can be beneficial for people of all ages, from babies to adults, and can help with a variety of issues such as breastfeeding difficulties, torticollis, anxiety, unregulated emotions, and chronic pain. The therapy works by quieting and regulating the nervous system, releasing tension in the body, and promoting overall well-being. It is not a massage and is performed with the client fully clothed. The frequency of sessions varies but is typically weekly for a few weeks, followed by less frequent sessions.____________________________________________________________________________________________ABOUT OUR GUEST:Hilary D.
