Nourishing Women Podcast


Aug 21, 2020

Have you heard about baby led weaning, also called baby self feeding? If you are a momma, momma to be, or you just love learning about pediatric nutrition- this episode is for you!

 

I am SO excited about today’s podcast guest, Megan McNamee RD/N of Feeding Littles. I personally purchased the online course on baby led weaning when my daughter was 6 months old, and I found it so supportive in helping me feel confident about this traditional way of feeding my little one.

 

Megan McNamee MPH, RDN, CLT is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist specializing in pediatric nutrition, food sensitivities and disordered eating. She has a Master's degree in Public Health Nutrition and has worked in maternal/child nutrition, public health, research, academia, and corporate consulting since 2002. Megan is passionate about preventing eating disorders, enjoying real food (that tastes good!), and cooking - especially with kids and helping you explore how to feed your little one. She has two young daughters, two crazy dogs, and one wonderful husband and lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

In this episode we discuss:

  • Megan’s journey to specializing in pediatric nutrition  and disordered eating
  • How Megan and Judy met and how they started Feeding Littles
  • The history and basic concepts of what is baby led weaning (BLW), often also called baby self feeding
  • The most common misconceptions with BLW and the benefits to utilizing BLW with your little ones
  • How eating changes from babies to toddlers and how to navigate this
  • Megan’s advice for mommas worried about their children becoming picky eaters
  • Megan’s  biggest piece of advice for raising intuitive eaters that feel empowered with their food choices
