Doctor Evka's Feeding Handbook about Children with Limited Diets Doctor Evka

Dr Kamilah Marie (PIvot & Bloom podcast) joins me today, and this episode is so good. It talks about how we can turn to unhealthy eating habits when we are under stress. Many of us experience stress when we have a child with reflux, excess crying, food allergies, FPEIS, feeding challenges, or other special needs. This episode also talks about how we can break free of out not-so-healthy diets more easily. It talks about how certain diet plans can be used as medicine for both our brains and our bodies. This episode is jam packed with information, and I certainly hope you listen to it. .

Many children though to have reflux may actually have something else going on. This is especially true if we are discussing pathological reflux. We are not talking about those children who spit up or hiccup every once in a while.  If a young child has vomiting, excessive crying, and weight changes, we are not talking about run-of-the-mill reflux. We are talking about something else. Let us discuss the very definition of reflux as well as some of these mimickers of reflux. If you have been told that your child has reflux, listen up very closely.

Some of us were highly successful professionals before we decided to leave the workforce in order to help care for our children. We spent time with them in hospitals, attended therapy appointments, or took care of their special needs. Whether they had significant feeding challenges, severe food allergies, or something else, our priorities became our children. What if things have gotten easier now? We want to reenter the work force. What are some ways to do that? Join me with the founder of Maven CEO - Dr Ronke Dosunmu - a pediatrician and serial entrepreneur. We discuss this career transition.

Patience can be so hard. Day in and day out our children say mean things to us, ask us to feed them a specific food but then do not eat any of it, make a mess without cleaning up, or talk back to us. How do you not go nuts when your child is losing their bananas? Let's discuss. What's your secret to making it all work for you?

I want to provide a better definition of colic when it comes to your baby. Let us break colic down into a definition like the following. First, colic is prolonged, frequent, and persistent crying of a specific character in an otherwise healthy infant (baby).  Second, colic is an uncommon group of behaviors with a characteristic pattern that is seen in young infants (babies) who may become hypertonic. It is poorly understood. 

Sometimes the words that we use can make a big difference. Sometimes, what we say can make a huge negative difference, and sometimes it works in the opposite way. You get a positive result.  Let''s discuss what the secure attachment style is and how to help foster it. Let's figure out how to help your child to develop a relationship around food and feeding that is based upon this secure attachment style. A relationship that is positive and that will help move them forward on their fooding journey where they are learning to recognize their love of good, nutritious food!
