Bethany Ferguson, RD

Most of Beth’s time is taken up by caring for her 3, energetic boys. However, her other passion in life is preserving peaceful food relationships in kids and it all begins with a newborn. That is why we love nurturing breastfeeding relationships, helping parents offer solids to their babies and creating a feeding framework for your toddler that will give them the tools they need to have a positive lifelong relationship with food. Beth would love to help you reduce anxiety at mealtimes with your picky child as well. And often times, the habits we (well meaningly) introduce our kids to come from our own learned issues with diet mentality and eating, therefore, Beth likes to help parents who are ready to ditch dieting and find a more sustainable way to nourish their body. Beth is from the Midwest, she originally lived in Iowa and then moved across the river to Illinois shortly after meeting her husband. She has been a Registered Dietitian since 2018 and Certified Lactation Counselor working with WIC families since 2019. She obtained her IBCLC credential in 2023 and is now practicing as a Lactation Consultant. I was given the blessing to be able to breastfeed all of my boys (including tandem feeding the twins) until 2 and beyond. Her passion for helping parents introduce solids to their babies came from her own struggles with eating and realizing how young our relationship with food forms (whether that is positive or negative). Let me help support you so you don’t have to feel alone and do this all by yourself like I did in the beginning! Nourish On 🖤
