The article discusses the author's struggles with feeding her daughter, including the transition from breastfeeding to formula and various feeding methods she tried. It highlights the societal pressures parents face regarding nutrition and school lunch judgments. Despite the struggles, the pediatrician reassures her about her daughter's health, while her daughter questions the healthiness of foods due to external influences, showcasing the complexities of children's nutrition in today's judgmental environment.
It left me annoyed and indignant. But I didn't fully feel the rage of those judgments until I had my own child.
So, it took much longer than usual to get our kiddo to fully sustain herself on actual food and not just formula.
My daughter's menu is still startlingly limited. However, she's not surviving solely on formula anymore. She's still growing.
We're at the point in her food journey where she's questioning if what she's eating is healthy... 'Mama, pizza is junk food, right?'
The pediatrician reassured us at every doctor's visit: 'She's growing. She's whip-smart. She's healthy.'
