11. Dads of BLW. What it’s like being ma...

H. McMahon Nutrition, LLC
About this episode

A follower recently asked me: “What’s it like for your husband to have the responsibilities of being Dad in the feeding journey while also being married to a dietitian who specializes in baby-led weaning (BLW) and toddler nutrition?”


It was such a great question that I brought him on the podcast to chat about this exact topic, and provide his insight! He’s here answering your questions!  

 

We talk about:

  •  What the BLW and feeding journey has been like for him as Dad, main chef in our home, and husband of a BLW/toddler dietitian
  • His insight on how parents can reduce their anxiety surrounding the feeding process
  • What mealtime looks like now, for our family, with a 3-year-old
  • and more!

 

Definitely a must-listen!
