Catch-Up Weight: Why Starting Solids Early Will Not Help Your Baby Gain Weight with Rosan Meyer, PhD, RD
#110: Will starting solid foods early help your baby with catch-up weight? What if your baby is small or low on the growth chart, will solid foods help regaining weight? In today’s episode I’m joined by pediatric dietitian, Rosan Meyer, PhD, RD, MSc to talk about why we don’t use food early on to support weight gain.
Rosan is a researcher and practitioner specializing in childhood nutrition, growth faltering, failure to thrive and pediatric allergies. In our interview she’s breaking down topics like how to interpret your baby’s growth chart and why starting solid foods early is not only unwise but also dangerous and will NOT help your baby with catch-up weight.
For parents who are getting pressure to start solid foods early for weight purposes, you’re really going to enjoy Rosan’s practical, down-to-earth suggestions about what to do INSTEAD.
If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together! Subscribe, rate and review the podcast here.
