Meet Sara and Sabrina. They are mothers raising children with Down syndrome who have made it their mission to use social media to educate fellow lucky mamas on feeding strategies. They run the account Able Appetites that focuses on “resources and community for parents feeding kiddos with DS. Support in transition from breast, bottle, or tube feeding to solid foods.” And today, they’re here to answer all of our questions about feeding our children with DS and provide practical tips for doing so — there’s plenty to discuss!
So if you’ve ever wondered about baby lead weaning, breast feeding support, and advocating for your child in the medical space, this is the episode for you! And where ever you are in your feeding journey, remember that you know your child the best, and you are doing amazing.
