Is this Picky Eating or ARFID? with Rosa...

#462 - Where does typical picky eating stop and problematic restriction start? Internationally renowned pediatric dietitian and professor Rosan Meyer is here to explain what ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) is and why your baby does not have ARFID.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. What “normal neophobic disgust” is so that you know what’s typical behavior in toddlerhood
2. Which symptoms need to be present for ARFID diagnosis and why babies don’t have ARFID
3. Why feeding therapists recommend against “contaminating” a safe food for a child with ARFID
