Manage episode 375647839 series 2887819
As parents, we often worry if our kids are getting their nutritional needs met, what supplements we should be giving them, and what to do about picky eating. We try to find the best multivitamins and sneak veggies into foods in hopes that we are helping our children be as healthy as possible. Wendy Hunter, MD is joining me to share some insight on some common questions and concerns parents have when it comes to nutrition and supplements for their children.
Wendy Hunter, MD was educated at Cornell University, UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine and attended UC San Diego for pediatrics residency. She spent 10 years experiencing the fun and drama in the pediatric emergency department at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. Now as a primary care pediatrician she helps parents understand why their kids do the weird things they do and how to raise kids as cool as her own.
In today's episode, we discuss if children really need to be taking a multivitamin and how to ensure they are getting the nutrition they need. We are also discussing the research on elderberry and other supplements, melatonin dosing for children, how to teach kids about eating a wide array of foods, and so much more.
In this episode, we discuss:
- If children really need to be taking a daily multivitamin
- What the research says about the elderberry as a way to help prevent you from getting sick
- When to take vitamin C and how it can help
- What to look for when selecting a melatonin supplement
- What to do when your child only eats certain foods
- If you should sneak vegetables into foods if your child will not eat veggies
- The importance of being aware of how we talk about foods around our children
- What signs to look out for that may indicate your child has an eating disorder
- The effects and impact of social media on children
- Recommendations for how to help with constipation at different ages
- How to help children who are still bedwetting at night
