Dr. Lisette Rodriguez
Dr. Lisette Rodriguez, professor of Human Lactation in the M.A. in Health and Wellness Program, is featured in People Chica magazine about her new cookbook, My Homemade Baby: Food Introduction Guidebook, a step-by-step guide that features exclusive techniques that encourage Latin families to cook for their babies using natural ingredients.
The mother of two and full-time professor of public health is committed to improving the health of young children by offering families education on baby food preparation, guidance, and supplies.
“As a mommy, wearing many “hats” throughout the day, I needed a convenient yet nutritious way to feed my babies and my family,” Rodriquez said. “I was determined to cook baby food that accomplished my goals: easy meal planning, short cooking times, and high nutritional value. When I decided to begin my baby food-cooking journey, I dedicated an entire handwritten journal to my fresh, exciting expedition. The Homemade Baby: Food Introduction Guidebook is the end product of all my heartfelt notes and experiences.”
