The First 1000 days: Building a Strong Foundation Through Nutrition
The first 1,000 days of a child’s life, from conception to age two, are a critical window for growth and development. In this episode of Growing Little Humans, we are joined by Aisling Oslizlok, the Founder of Great Little Eaters, to explore the profound impact of nutrition during this period, from supporting brain development to laying the groundwork for lifelong health.
We discuss the role of prenatal nutrition, breastfeeding, and best practices for introducing solid foods, including which foods to prioritize or avoid. Plus, we address common challenges families face in meeting nutritional needs and share expert advice and resources for parents.
Join us to learn how to give your child the best nutritional start in life!
