Ep 146 - Pediatric Feeding Specialist Teaches Parents Baby-Led Mealtime | Tooth Or Dare Podcast with Toothlife.Irene
Welcome to the 146th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dawn Winkelmann (@msdawnslp).
Do you remember learning how to eat? Were you a picky eater growing up? What does this have to do with dentistry? Surprisingly, a lot - keep listening to find out!
Infancy is a critical stage of development, a time when babies learn survival skills and good (or bad) habits. Dawn emphasizes the importance of baby-led mealtime, in which babies learn to feed themselves instead of being literally spoon-fed by parents. Eating is a sensory experience with so much going on, and it’s crucial for parents to make sure their child is swallowing correctly, getting enough nutrition, and exposed to a variety of foods to prevent potential issues down the road. Having the right knowledge is not enough however, so Dawn also shows us how her specially designed baby-led utensils help teach tiny humans the safe way to enjoy liquid and solid foods.
