The Parallels Between Diet Culture and Infant Sleep Training with Kathleen Meehan

Diet culture in infant sleep?? My guest today is new mom Kathleen Meehan, RD, who outlines the parallels she's noticed between diet culture and the way that vulnerable new parents are sold infant sleep training, such as "one size fits all" programs and placing the blame on the individual rather than the "fix" when things don't work out. We also explore how diet culture directly influences infant sleep with rigid feeding schedules, prescribed limits on formula feeds and how infant weight factors into sleep training.
