Food Positivity: What to Say (and What Words to Skip) with Arielle Dani Lebovitz, MS, RD

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Episode Description

If you’re worried about saying the wrong thing when your baby is starting solid foods, this episode is for you. In this conversation with registered dietitian and Food Positivity co-author Arielle “Dani” Lebovitz, MS, RD, you’ll learn how everyday comments (often said with love) can shape your baby’s relationship with food and their body long before they can talk.

We cover simple, real-life language swaps that reduce pressure at meals, help you build trust (even on days your baby barely eats), and set the foundation for a healthy food relationship without guilt, bribing, or battles. You’ll walk away with practical phrases to use right away and “words to skip” that quietly reinforce food shame
