Starting Solids

Raising healthy, happy and competent eaters can feel like a big challenge. Feeding responsively can help reduce meal time stress for little ones and parents and set the foundation for developing a positive relationship with food. In this session we will chat about feeding little ones, from their first bite to when they are toddling around and how to do this in a way that will help you raise healthy and happy eaters.

Speaker: Melinda Lamarche

Speaker Bio: Melinda Lamarche is a Registered Dietitian (RD) and a Mama of 4. Melinda has been an RD for 17 years, working with patients / clients across the lifespan. Since having her own children, and realizing the real struggles parents face when feeding little ones, Melinda has shifted her focus to Pediatric Nutrition and now helps families navigate the sometimes confusing and overwhelming journey of feeding littles.
