WEANING with Pediatric Dietitian, Jordana Ventzke
02/09/21 • 56 min
Welcome to Friday’s Child the podcast, formally known as Life School ME.
When I started Life School back in June 2019 my vision for where I wanted to take the podcast and how it would grow was not 100% clear. I knew I wanted to interview inspiring women and share their stories, but there was no grand plan. And that’s ok. I’m a firm believer in starting before you’re ready!
But after falling pregnant with my beautiful daughter Mavia, and deciding to focus on the world of #BumpsandBabies for Series 2, I discovered a new passion for all things related to pregnancy and birth. The things I learnt about the female body and birth during my pregnancy journey have changed me forever and ignited a new found passion and love for this subject matter.
So Life School has now been reborn as FRIDAY’S CHILD and during this Series I will be talking to First Time Mums, Childbirth Educators and Industry Experts on all things Motherhood. Whether you’re newly pregnant, a first time Mum or maybe you just want to find out more about the world of babies and Motherhood, I hope you enjoy listening to my wonderful guests and that hopefully you can take away some helpful information and insights.
My guest today is Dubai based Pediatric Dietitian, Jordana Ventzke. Jordana specializes in infant diet and nutrition, maternal nutrition and pre & post-natal support. Jordana is also a breast-feeding counsellor and Hypnobirthing Instructor. In this episode I speak to Jordana about a very hot topic and something that I am currently going through right now with my 6-month-old baby, and that’s the wonderful world of WEANING. So, for any Mums out there about to start their weaning journey, this one’s for you! Jordana is a fountain of knowledge and I personally learnt so much from our conversation.
