If you are not a parent or don’t plan to be, we know you’ll learn something that you can share with someone along the way, so please be sure to stick with us. We have been waiting a long time to have Dr. Shah say on our podcast that a plant-based diet can be and is a healthy option for our children. But, there is more to this show than that. Dr. Shah talks to us about breastfeeding, formula, supplements, feeding your children solids, weaning, cow’s milk and so many other questions new parents have.
