Navigating the 'beige stage' with toddlers
Manage episode 427241494 series 1147384
Have you ever wondered why babies suddenly become a whole lot more discerning around 12-to-18-months old? Or perhaps you work with families familiar with the ‘beige stage’ – that frustrating phase where toddlers seem to survive on a bland diet of crackers, toast, plain pasta and bananas. In this episode, we’re joined by dietitian, Alex Parker, from The Biting Truth, to share practical strategies to help parents navigate the ‘beige stage’ of toddler eating. Learn about the key nutrients essential for toddlers, the role of parents in modelling healthy eating habits, and the importance of language at mealtimes. Alex also shares insights into distinguishing typical fussy eating from more complex sensory issues or food aversions.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Developmental changes that happen around 12 months old
- Practical tips to maximise key nutrients in fussy toddlers
- The importance of role modelling healthy eating habits
- The impact of language on toddler eating habits
- How to identify what’s ‘normal’ and when fussy eating indicates more complex issues
