In this highly anticipated episode, we delve into the various options available for feeding your baby: purees, spoon feeding, and baby-led weaning. Join us as we explore each method in detail and discuss their benefits, drawbacks, and important considerations. We begin by examining the classic approach of purees, a familiar method for many parents. From achieving the right consistency to introducing additional nutrients, we provide tips on preparing and thinning purees for your baby. We also address the transition from smooth to chunky purees and how it relates to their developmental milestones. Next, we dive into the fascinating concept of baby-led weaning, which emphasizes a more self-led approach to feeding. We discuss the benefits of allowing babies to experience and explore different textures, flavors, and scents through finger foods. We also touch upon the potential challenges and misconceptions surrounding baby-led weaning, including iron levels, salt and sugar content, and the need for support from healthcare professionals. As part of the episode, we are thrilled to have Tannis from Boom Baby Food, a local Alberta-based company, join us for an interview. Tannis shares her personal journey and how her passion for providing nutritious options for her own children led to the creation of Boom Baby Food. We discuss the range of purees and their varying ingredients, the recent launch of their first finger food, and the importance of sourcing high-quality ingredients for optimal nutrition. Furthermore, we address the topic of store-bought purees, highlighting both their convenience and potential drawbacks. We emphasize the importance of checking ingredient lists and offer alternatives such as environmentally-friendly options like Boom Baby Food. The episode concludes with a reminder about iron levels and the significance of incorporating iron-rich foods into your baby's diet. Join us for this insightful episode as we empower parents with knowledge, debunk myths, and provide valuable guidance on making informed choices when it comes to feeding your baby.

| 09 Jun 2023 | Building Trust and Nurturing Healthy Eating Habits w/ special guest [babies] | ep. 33 | 00:32:23 | |
In this episode, the host explores the importance of building trust and establishing a solid foundation for introducing solid foods to infants. They discuss the significance of family meals as a way to create a positive association with mealtimes and foster a sense of belonging. The host encourages listeners to pay attention to their child's hunger cues and respond to their needs, reinforcing the trust between parent and child. Offering food at regular intervals and maintaining consistency is highlighted as an essential practice to establish a predictable meal schedule. While breast milk or formula remains the primary source of nutrition, introducing a routine for solid food can help children anticipate and expect regular meals. The host suggests being flexible with the schedule and offering food when possible, without putting too much pressure on strict adherence. A key aspect of building trust is adopting a mindset that allows the child to decide what and how much to eat. This approach takes the pressure off parents and enables children to listen to their own bodies. The host advises against commenting on food quantity, coercing the child to eat, or using treats as incentives. Instead, offering healthy food regularly and maintaining a positive, no-pressure attitude helps children develop healthy eating habits. The episode briefly touches on the topic of baby-led weaning, discussing how it can enhance the child's memory and familiarity with various foods. The benefits of allowing children to recall colors, textures, shapes, and tastes are highlighted, potentially increasing their willingness to try new foods. However, the host assures listeners that the choice between purees and baby-led weaning, or a combination of both, is a personal one and encourages following one's intuition. As a special guest, Lucy from Naturally Nourished with Lucy joins the episode. Lucy, a certified holistic nutrition consultant and a mother, shares her experiences and insights on holistic nutrition during pregnancy and postpartum. She discusses her approach to starting solids with her child and offers valuable tips for mealtime routines and building a trusting bond. Lucy also talks about taking a baby CPR course to feel prepared for potential choking incidents. The episode concludes with Lucy sharing personal successes on her journey and providing three practical tips for families embarking on the solid food introduction phase. Listeners are informed about where to find Lucy and the resources she offers to support families and new moms. Throughout the episode, the host mentions discount codes from partner companies, offering savings and support to listeners on their conception, pregnancy, and solid food journey.

| 06 Mar 2023 | Zinc: A Nutrient Powerhouse for Moms-to-Be and Beyond [pregnancy] | ep. 13 | 00:05:01 | |
Because of the rise in certain pregnancy hormones, some of these suppress the immune system to ensure the body does not treat the fetus as a foreign body so it may grow and develop, but this also leaves the body more susceptible to colds and flus which is why so many pregnant women experience a lot of sickness (and sometimes morning sickness!) in the first trimester. In today’s episode we go over why zinc is important in the first trimester to support immunity and the other benefits it has for both mom and baby, as well as where to get it in your diet.

| 14 Apr 2023 | Black Maternal Health Week 2023 [special] | ep. 21 | 00:05:48 | |
Today's podcast episode is dedicated to a very special cause: Black Maternal Health Week. This week runs annually from April 11-17 and aims to amplify the voices of Black mothers and healthcare providers, highlighting the specific issues within the Black community when it comes to pregnancy and postpartum care. This topic is especially crucial in the United States, where maternal health rates continue to deteriorate overall and racial disparities persist as they did in the 1930s. America is one of only 13 countries where pregnancy-related deaths are on the rise. Unfortunately, preconception and pregnancy have different outcomes for Black women. For example, the World Health Organization deems fertility a woman’s right, but in the United States, Black women are more likely to have damaged fallopian tubes leading to higher rates of infertility. The likelihood of damaged fallopian tubes also means it is more common among Black women to experience ectopic pregnancies, which can be dangerous and life-threatening. As a result, early care is critical for Black women to confirm that their pregnancy is viable and safe. It is also more common for Black women to experience preeclampsia, a high blood pressure diagnosis that can lead to preterm birth. And while breastfeeding is recommended for all newborns, current statistics show that Black women have the lowest prevalence of breastfeeding compared to all other racial ethnic groups. Breastfed infants are less likely to experience asthma, respiratory infections, diabetes, and obesity. Therefore, the disparity in breastfeeding rates among Black women is a missed opportunity to improve health disparities among this population. During this episode, we will discuss Black maternal health and how to advocate for Black women. While policy and education can affect change, advocating for oneself is critical. We'll also highlight some of the best resources on this topic, such as Black Mamas Matter, Natal Stories, Family Advocacy Support Centre, and Future Ancestors Services. Let us continue to shine a light on Black maternal health and advocate for the Black community, not just during Black Maternal Health Week, but always.

We dive into the benefits of consuming these nutrients for both mom and baby and some risks of deficiency. I also tell you the top food sources for each so you can enrich your diet accordingly, as well as if you are a vegan or vegetarian, I recommend supplementing. The first trimester can be such a whirlwind from excitement of realizing you're pregnant to sudden morning sickness and body changes, often with very few people in their life knowing the news which can make it feel isolating and not real. In the episode I want to share how you can support your changing body and growing baby through nutrition to help you feel more empowered in your choices.

| 13 Mar 2023 | Understanding Labor Before You’re in Labor - The Stages of Childbirth [birth & postpartum] | ep. 14 | 00:04:49 | |
While we truly hope and pray that your primary care provider is going to explain to you what to expect in labor, the harsh reality is that some care providers are just not that thoughtful. At Bitesized we want to empower you with knowledge, not only about nutrition, but also understanding the physiology of your body during these times. We believe the more you know, the more you can advocate for yourself and understand what you might need when you’re experiencing it, rather than trying to figure it out on the fly. Knowing that labor has many stages and not only does it affect your dilation, but it affects your mood and your reliance on your birth team. So understanding that will help you feel more prepared when making your birth plan.

| 15 May 2023 | Nourishing Connections: The Power of Family Meals and Early Nutrition [starting solids] | ep. 28 | 00:08:13 | |
Continuing our exploration of the exciting journey into solids, this week's episode shines a spotlight on the significance of family meals. Join me as we delve into the ever-evolving nature of these shared dining experiences. From childhood rituals and extended family gatherings to the inevitable changes that come with busy schedules, family meals leave lasting impressions. But let's not dwell solely on the past. The focus here is on considering the present and the future. What does mealtime look like for you now? In this episode, we explore the importance of establishing and maintaining a connection during mealtime. Whether it's through prayer, lighting candles, or simply putting away distractions, these small gestures can transform a regular meal into a cherished moment of togetherness. Moreover, we delve into the idea of incorporating children into the mealtime experience. As we shift our focus to the nutritional aspect, we touch on the impact of our own eating habits on our children. Research suggests that regular family meals are associated with healthier eating patterns in children. By modeling healthy food choices and creating a positive feeding environment, we can set our children on a path toward better nutrition. Even before introducing solid foods, we explore how babies can join in on mealtime rituals. From having their own place at the table to playing with utensils, these early experiences can pave the way for future mealtime enjoyment.

Quality is key, so be sure to source this ingredient from reputable suppliers. Next up, we explore the wonders of another natural addition—small but mighty seeds. These seeds are rich in valuable nutrients, including protein, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants. They provide support for heart health, digestion, and even contribute to healthy skin. Incorporating them into your baby's meals is a breeze, whether by rolling them onto slices of avocado for a unique sensory experience or adding them to a range of dishes such as smoothies, salads, or homemade hummus. Opting for organic varieties ensures the best possible quality. Our exploration continues with the benefits of a lesser-known ingredient—seaweed powder. Packed with essential nutrients and micronutrients, it offers a range of potential advantages. From supporting thyroid function and gut health to promoting heart health and stabilizing blood sugars, this versatile addition provides a nourishing boost to meals. Look for high-quality options such as nori or dried seaweed, which can be conveniently incorporated into various recipes. Lastly, we delve into a surprising addition that may raise some eyebrows—beef liver or spleen pills. Despite their unconventional nature, these pills offer remarkable nutritional benefits.

| 24 Apr 2023 | Nourishing the Postpartum Body in the Fourth Trimester [postpartum] | ep. 23 | 00:10:26 | |
This episode discusses the importance of nutrition for new mothers who are recovering from giving birth and potentially breastfeeding. A nutrient-dense diet can help new mothers recover, rebalance hormones, support milk production, and provide energy. Traditional cultures offer warm, soft, and digestible foods to nourish new mothers, as these foods are believed to be easier to digest and promote circulation. We also revisit balanced meals, which you can listen to in our balancing meals episode for more. Rather than counting calories, new mothers should listen to their body's hunger cues and nourish themselves with healthy meals and snacks.

| 03 Mar 2023 | Pregnancy Condition: Low Immunity & How Nutrition Can Help You Combat This [Pregnancy] | ep. 12 | 00:07:58 | |
Because of the rise in certain pregnancy hormones, some of these suppress the immune system to ensure the body does not treat the fetus as a foreign body so it may grow and develop, but this also leaves the body more susceptible to colds and flus which is why so many pregnant women experience a lot of sickness (and sometimes morning sickness!) in the first trimester. In today’s episode we go over some obvious ways to help support the immune system and also how to build it up with nutrition. Be sure to check out last week’s episode on Vitamin C and the upcoming one on Zinc for more understanding!

| 29 May 2023 | Navigating the Starting Solids Journey: Identifying Fullness and Following Baby's Cues [starting solids] | ep. 31 | 00:07:07 | |
In this episode, we delve deeper into the exciting world of starting solids with your little one. Building upon our previous discussions, we explore the frequency of introducing solids at different stages of your baby's development. Remember, every baby is unique, so it's crucial to observe their hunger cues and allow them to lead the way. Rather than providing strict measurements, we emphasize the importance of listening to your baby's signals of fullness. We discuss how to switch your mindset from "feeding" to "offering" food, just as we adults vary our eating patterns based on factors like activity level, health, and appetite. Minimizing distractions during mealtime helps your baby focus on their food and recognize their internal cues of hunger and satiation. We also explore the various cues your baby might demonstrate to indicate fullness, depending on whether you're spoon-feeding or introducing finger foods. From turning their head away to engaging in playful exploration, we unravel the signs that reveal when your baby has had enough. Throughout the episode, we provide practical tips and advice, such as offering foods when your baby is in a good mood, paying attention to their body language, and understanding that taste preferences can change as their taste buds regenerate. We emphasize the value of continuous exposure to different foods and the importance of breastfeeding or formula feeding until at least 2 years of age for nutritional benefits. Tune in to discover how to navigate the starting solids journey, empower your baby to eat until they are full, and lay the foundation for a healthy and enjoyable relationship with food.
