Pediatrician Profiles Earth’s Best is proud to be supported by so many pediatricians nationwide. After all, pediatricians are the #1 resource new parents turn to for information on infant nutrition. Dr. Jennifer Saenz
Dr. Saenz has been a practicing pediatrician for seven years and currently heads the resident training program for a pediatric clinic in the L.A. area. “I became a pediatrician,” according to Dr. Saenz, “because I always knew I wanted to work with children. I also liked the idea of being an educator.” As a pediatrician, she combines the two, as she educates parents on the health and well being of their children. In recent years, Dr. Saenz had become a proponent of organic baby foods. “In this day, it is better to go organic with baby foods like Earth’s Best. The more you read, the more you become concerned about the hormones in conventional foods.” Her patients’ parents are also showing a much greater interest in organic foods. When asked if there is a helpful feeding tip she would like to share with parents, Dr. Saenz immediately offered advice for new parents feeding rice cereal to their infants. “When new parents first feed rice cereal to their infants, they often make the mistake of making it too thick which can cause the baby to gag and reject the food. Up until this point, the infant has only consumed liquids and therefore does not really understand how to eat ‘solids.’ Early on, rice cereal should be prepared with plenty of breast milk or formula so it is watered down and easy for the baby to eat.” See What Other Doctors Say About Earth's Best |
