Feeding Practices That Make Us Cringe

05/21/24 • 37 min

Everybody and their mother has a different opinion about the best way to get your kids to eat. The internet is completely saturated with ideas, tricks, "hacks," and promises of "just do THIS and your kid will eat broccoli!" We'll break down the most cringe worthy feeding practices that Jen hears, and why these well-intentioned methods might do more harm than good for your child. Plus, Jen and Izzy do a product review on Chomps Meat Sticks as they try them for the first time and give their honest feedback as well as a breakdown of the nutrition facts compared to Slim Jims.
