Active risks to children's health come in many shapes and sizes. While misinformation and bad advice won't turn up in a blood test, it can have just as damaging consequences as any infection.Dr Christie del Castillo-Hegyi's research into child wellbeing and nutrition, in addition to her Fed Is Best Initiative, flies counter to a lot of the “received wisdom” new parents are given. Her cause is that babies get adequate care in their early development - a sentiment that is more controversial than it seems.This episode includes discussion of maternal health, child malnutrition, medical trauma and child death. Listener discretion is advised.Read the original research: https://doi.org/10.3390/children9091379Pre-order the Fed Is Best book here: https://www.fedisbestbook.org/
