If your child struggles with eating, Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) could be the missing piece. Many parents haven’t even heard of PFD, but understanding it could explain why mealtimes are so tough. And navigating insurance for feeding therapy? That’s another challenge entirely. That’s why I sat down with Jaclyn Pederson, CEO of Feeding Matters, to help break it all down.

In this episode:

  • What Pediatric Feeding Disorder is and how it affects kids
  • The key question to ask before starting feeding therapy
  • Tips for handling insurance and reimbursement 💸
  • How providers can help advocate for your child
  • Programs and resources available for parents 🤝
  • Trusting your mom instincts along the way 💕

👉 Join us as we explore how to better support your child's feeding journey and gain confidence in advocating for their needs!

It can be really challenging to know how to respond to family and friends when they make comments or have questions about your child's eating. Not only do you want to set boundaries about comments, but many of you told me you would like to also help educate them so they can understand why you are choosing t use the methods you do.

So in this week's podcast we're talking in depth about the research, and my professional opinion on 3 common myths with children who struggle to eat.

Join me in this episode to debunk these 3 MYTHS:

  • Children who refuse to eat their dinner or veggies are being stubborn

  • You are the parent you tell them what to eat (aka withholding dessert, pressuring, forcing, and "if they're hungry enough they'll eat)

  • As the parent, it is your fault they are not eating. And someone else could do it better.

If you're tired of feeling like nothing is working, and no matter what you do your child NEVER takes step forward with new foods, I invite you to check out the Food Explorers Membership.
