Service Description
Introducing solid foods to your little one is a major milestone which can be a challenging and daunting time for many. How and what you feed your child lays the foundation for their relationship with food and their bodies. As an experienced parent and feeding expert, Rachael can help you feel confident knowing when, what and how to start solids. Supporting you in dealing with any nutrition-related concerns along the way. Toddlers can have pretty strong opinions about what you put on their plate! Are you finding meal times a battle? Do you find yourself dreaming of only needing to cook one dinner that everyone will enjoy? We’ll help you discover what works for your family and put the joy back into meal time. When your kids are young there can be a host of specific nutrition issues. Your doctor may have diagnosed iron deficiency, food allergies or intolerances, constipation and eczema or autism spectrum disorders. We can help you sift through the information and choose the right pathway for you to help support your child. As your kids grow up their nutrition concerns may change. If you’re becoming concerned about your teen and their nutrition, body image or relationship with their food then you’ve come to the right place. In order to provide effective treatment, I need to thoroughly understand the problem to pinpoint the source of the difficulty. Therefore, I do a detailed assessment in which I consider present and past feeding issues, your child's nutrition and medical history. Assessment forms are sent prior to appointment and reviewed and then discussed in your 60min consult, with follow up notes and support provided.
