Kids Learn How to Eat with Dawn Winkelmann

Dawn Winkelmann shares how kids learn how to eat and how they go from a liquid diet to a full range of solid foods.

Dawn explains how the EZPZ pediatric feeding products such as Happy Mat and Tiny Cup help infants and toddlers learn to feed independently.

Moreover, she encourages parents to let their babies lead the way and give them credit for what they can do. She reveals the key to getting children to eat is making them comfortable around food and letting them have control.

Dawn also discusses the obstacles that get in the way of children being autonomous with eating. She points out that its normal for toddlers to eat with their hands while they learn to eat.

Furthermore, she says that some picky eating has to do with how the mouth is changing, particularly in the oral structure. She reminds us that we don't need to change the food to match that oral stage.

Dawn gives her tips for sensory-based picky eaters. and urges us to think outside of the box and look at what the child is doing.

Dawn Winkelmann is a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist and Feeding Specialist with 26 years of experience teaching parents and medical professionals how to help babies start solids safely and encourage toddlers to overcome picky eating.

If we know that babies have this innate ability to learn, to eat, and do it by themselves with curiosity, just like they do with play, and language and everything else, then we need to set them up for that success.
