Talking Children's Nutrition With Manisha

This week I'm sharing a Livestream I did with Manisha on her Instagram page (@manisha_your_nurtritionist), we spoke about how we manage our children's.

We're NOT experts in children's nutrition and everything we share is based on our own experience and knowledge from working with adults so if you do decide to implement anything we discuss please consult your child's doctor first.

That being said, we both hope you enjoy listening in on this conversation and find it useful.
