    When Parents Are Not on the Same Page: Aruments, Divorce, Step-parents and more

    When Parents Are Not on the Same Page: Aruments, Divorce, Step-parents and more

    You've chosen baby-led weaning and your partner thinks you should be doing purees. You've decided that breastfeeding is right for you while your spouse thinks that bottle-feeding is the way to go. You're using Division of Responsibility, but when your child is at your ex's house, it's all permissive parenting. What can you do to lead your child toward a healthy relationship with food while you and your parenting partner are not in agreement? Join me, along with special guest Chava Lederer, family therapist, for this important discussion. You can find Chava at https://www.chavalederer.com/ In this segment, I referenced the following Nap Time Nutrition segments: Food Introduction Timing and Methods: https://youtu.be/1-zmkywY-84 Should You Put Your Child on a Diet: https://youtu.be/nKWgAuzcSfk

    I'm Breastfeeding--Why Can't I Lose Weight?

    I'm Breastfeeding--Why Can't I Lose Weight?
    Breastfeeding is often credited with being the fastest way to lose post-baby weight, but that's not the case for 1 in 5 women. Let's talk about the biology behind breastfeeding and weight loss.

    This segment, like all my segments, is weight-neutral and does not advocate weight loss as a method of pursuing health. Weight is a complex issue. The scale will never be able to tell you if you're healthy or not. In this video, I referenced a number of other videos:

    Welcome to Nap Time Nutrition! I’m Yaffi Lvova, RDN. In this space, I share information regarding nutrition from pregnancy through toddlerhood. The advice given in these segments does not replace medical advice given by someone who has your medical chart and knowledge of your history and full circumstances.
