Solids Feeding Consultation
A solids feeding consultation offers compassionate guidance for parents navigating the challenges of introducing solid foods to their baby. This service is designed to address common issues such as feeding refusal and fussy behavior during mealtimes, helping to create a positive eating experience. With expert support, you will learn effective strategies to encourage your child to explore a diverse range of healthy foods and develop essential self-feeding skills, fostering a lifelong love for nutritious eating.
Our comprehensive assessment provides a thorough evaluation of your child's growth and development. We take into account their medical and surgical history, along with any previous and current health advice from professionals. Our focus extends to physical health, developmental milestones, and genetic predispositions through family history, ensuring a holistic understanding of your baby's needs.
We also assess feeding history, equipment, and behaviors, as well as sleep patterns, to create a tailored plan that supports your child's well-being and growth.

The email review option offers clients a convenient daily check-in via email for the selected duration, ensuring they receive personalized feedback and guidance tailored to their unique needs.
Unless otherwise agreed to between yourself and your consultant at the time of your appointment, support days are to be used as follows:
· One email check in per day - for review of videos, feeding logs, overview of progress.
· must be used within a two week period following the date of your consultation; and,
· to be used as consecutive days.
· Support days are non-refundable.
If the support days are not used within the 2 week period, they will be forfeited.
