How Much Protein Your Young Child Needs
Many of you have been asking me about nutrition for children recently and specifically about their protein needs. So this week I have recorded an episode not only on how much protein your child needs but why your anxieties on the topic are likely unwarranted!
I also cover some really important advice on how to approach your child’s nutrition without causing them harm.
Lots to take away from a parenting perspective in this one…..Enjoy!
