    Baby-led Weaning: A method to introduce solids and encourage self-feeding for infants (Episode 181)

    Have you ever seen a baby eating a chicken drumstick? Or gnawing on a whole strawberry or broccoli floret? Many healthcare providers may not have learned about baby-led weaning and therefore, may not teach parents about this method of introducing solids and teaching babies about self-feeding. In this episode, Dr. Katie Lockwood and Kary Rappaport, OTR/L, MS, SCFES, IBCLC, a senior feeding and swallowing specialist on the team at Solid Starts, discuss the differences between choking and gagging, serving sizes at different ages, feeding challenges, handling allergens, and more, just in time for Thanksgiving!

    Social Media for Healthcare Professionals

    Healthcare professionals may use social media for a variety of purposes including developing a professional network, increasing personal awareness of news, listening to experts, and/or consulting colleagues. It can also be a tool to disseminate research, market practices, engage in health advocacy, and engage with professional organizations. Increasingly we are seeing health care professionals provide health information to the community and engage with patients on social media platforms. On this episode, Anjuli Gans, MD, a pediatrician at Karabots Pediatric Care Center in West Philadelphia, a CHOP Care Network primary care practice, who is known online for her site Resilient Rascals and its popular Instagram account of the same name with 141,000+ followers, discusses the rules of engagement, how to fight mis/dis-information, and why healthcare providers might want to create a social media account.

    School Lunch Nutrition Updates with USDA FNS (Episode 176)

    In 2010, Congress passed the Hunger-Free Kids Act to help ensure that every American child has access to a balanced school lunch. This is important because many children rely on schools to meet a large portion of their daily nutritional needs. Parents and pediatricians should be aware that new rules will gradually place limits on added sugars and reduce sodium, among other changes. In this episode, we talk with Cindy Long, Deputy Under Secretary for Food and Nutrition Service, about school meal standards and how they impact children. #schoollunch #nutrition #pediatrics
