According to a study in the journal Pediatrics, parents need to start preventing picky eating from an early age. The way to do this is to introduce children to a variety of foods early on. If you are interested, I would love to connect you with Heidi Miller, MS, CCC-SLP, COM® to talk about the simple ways to help your picky eater now.
Heidi is a Speech-Language Pathologist, Feeding Specialist, and Certified Orofacial Myologist who works with children (0-18) and families to improve their speech and feeding skills. She recently wrote and published the HMS Feeding Protocol for Expanding Repertoire of Picky Eaters and Children with ARFID to help other speech therapists and occupational therapists treat this population.
