Today’s Guests: Dr. Zachary Rubin & Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Shane McAnally.
Some of the most meaningful parenting moments happen during mealtime - from those quiet early feedings of formula or breastmilk to the hilarious (and often messy) introduction of solid foods. But alongside those memories comes a steady stream of questions: What should my baby be eating? When is the right time to introduce new foods? How do I handle allergies?
In the final episode of our three-part feeding series, StrollerCoaster zooms out to explore the full journey of nutrition across your baby’s first 1,000 days - a critical window that plays a powerful role in growth and development.
Host Lynn Smith is joined by Dr. Zachary Rubin, a double board-certified pediatrician, who walks us through each stage of feeding. From breastmilk and formula to introducing allergens and transitioning to solids, he offers clear, practical guidance to help parents navigate every milestone with confidence.
Then, in our Parenting Story of the Day, four-time Grammy Award winner Shane McAnally shares what it’s really like raising three kids while balancing life in the music industry. His stories about feeding on the road and bonding with his babies bring humor, honesty, and a fresh perspective on modern parenting.
