NEW Podcast Episode: Understanding You're Child's Growth
Description
Episode 97: Understanding Your Child’s Growth
We're back! After a year-long break, Anna Lutz, MPH, RD/LDN, CEDRD-S, and Elizabeth Davenport, MPH, RD, LD, return to the Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast with an important conversation about how to support your child’s growth in a body-positive, evidence-based way.
In this episode, we talk about:
Tips to prepare for pediatrician visits and advocate for your child.
Why the 50th percentile is not the “ideal” plot point on a growth chart.
What does it mean when your child crosses percentiles?
The importance of focusing on each child’s own, individual growth history.
How body diversity plays a role in interpreting growth.
Why height and weight data on growth charts are just information.
