🥰Which cup is the best cup for your baby or tod 🥰Which cup is the best cup for your baby or toddler? ✨Honestly, there are features that I look for as a speech language therapist who specializes in pediatric feeding, but there’s not perfect cup out there. There are LOTS of good ones – and if they are on my Amazon shop then I’ve tested and approved them. Be sure to check out both the BABIES and the TODDLER categories there. If you’ve got an older kid, you’ll see options there as well. 👉🏼Amazon Shop & ezpz discount links in my bio or DM me if you can’t find them! ✨Got questions about why I feel the way I do, which cup is which, or specifics about your little munch bug? Drop them in the comments below! #melaniepotock #blwideas #babyled #firstbaby #firstbabyfood #strawdrinking #solidstarts #blw6months #blw7months #blwinspiration #slpmom #otmom #feedingtherapy #feedingtherapist #slpfeedingtherapy #firsttimeparents #firsttimeparent #ashaigers #bottleweaning #bestcups #toddlermomlife #toddlermomma
Picky eater in your family? “Try using a differe Picky eater in your family? “Try using a different color plate!” 🙄Seriously??? 👉🏼At least that’s what is suggested in the latest media. But we know it’s not THAT easy. Perhaps you’ve read about this new study “ to get picky eaters to eat veggies” you can change their plate color! 🤦🏼‍♀️Oh my…Here’s what you REALLY need to know: 👉🏼This study was SMALL…and done on less than 50 ADULTS in the UK. (Adults can be extreme picky eaters too, so I’m not discounting that struggle, but the term “picky eater” is used by media to draw in parents in general.) 🥣It wasn’t a plate, it was a bowl. In fact, it was 3 bowls – a red, white and/or a blue one. 👉🏼What they learned in this very small study, is that adult picky eaters perceived the taste perception of “salty” more often if processed SNACKS (not veggies) were served in a blue bowl vs. a plain white bowl. Non picky-eaters noted no difference. Snacks were less desirable if served in the red bowl. ✨👉🏼So what MIGHT this mean? For sure, we know that eating is a sensory experience and that includes the sense of sight. Eating is also emotional and certain colors relate to emotional memories in the brain, like the color of the packaging of a favorite snack. ⚠️Further research is needed, but if you want to try a different color bowl to see if helps your child become more adventurous, please do. Just know that there are MANY factors that contribute to picky eating and the color of the bowl is not as important as the media makes it out to be…but it’s notable, worth continued research and frankly, I like my food in a white bowl…how about you? ✨Tell me in the comments…✨ #melaniepotock #pickyeaters #sensoryprocessing #feedingtherapy #feedingtherapist #ashaigers #feedingtoddlers #toddlertrouble #parentingtips #feedingkids #otmom #slpmom #feedinglittles #slplife #slpfeedingtherapy Resource: Madison Annette, Lorenzo D.
