Feeding kids is HARD!! There's no shame in admitting that. Even as a child nutritionist, I find it hard to put everything into practice every day. There are days when my child will eat only 1 food, or when they refuse all vegetables – it’s a normal part of feeding little ones!

​

Just because eating is something that everyone does, doesn't mean that we don't all need a little extra help from time to time. Especially when you're also dealing with the stresses that come with being a new parent or managing changing behaviours in your toddler. Asking for help, to take control of mealtimes and enjoy the time you spend at the table is SO valuable, when you think of how many hours you spend as a family eating together.

​

Getting help with mealtimes, weaning or fussy eating is the right thing for you if:

​

• You started introducing solid foods and found it more challenging than you expected

• You are anxious about the volume or variety of foods your child is eating​

• You are feeling stressed and frustrated about how much your little one spits out and throws food rather than eating it​​

• You find yourself worrying when comparing how much food and milk your child is eating to your friends’ children​

• You did baby led weaning and introduced vegetables first but have found that your toddler has started to refuse everything in sight

• You just need reassurance and someone to chat to about what's even normal when it comes to children's eating

​

​

Sometimes, reading all the information online and going to a weaning workshop isn't quite enough to give you the reassurance you need when feeding your child.

​

It’s understandable to have worries and concerns – going from milk, to introducing solid foods and then joining family mealtimes, are huge steps fr everyone. A leap into the unknown. If you've had issues with your own relationship with food in the past, then you might be determined to set your baby up with the right eating habits from the start.
