Episode 42: 3 things that I would and wouldn't change about feeding my kids

In today's episode, I reflect on lessons learnt both a mum and a paediatric dietitian. 

Feeding children can be quite a journey, filled with trials and triumphs. What I know now is very different from what I knew back when I started out as a paediatric dietitian pre kids!

In this episode, I'll be diving into three things I'd do differently if I could start over, and three things I'd definitely keep the same. It's all about learning from our experiences and making life easier for each other.
