Baby & Toddler Nutrition

Whether you're introducing solid foods or managing mealtime struggles, personalised advice can give you the guidance and confidence to support your little one’s unique nutritional needs as they grow.

Does this sound familiar?

➜ You’re feeling overwhelmed about weaning

The transition to solid foods can feel like a big step, and it's natural to feel uncertain about when and how to start. You want to approach weaning with confidence, ensuring a healthy balance between solids and milk feeds.

➜ You’re confused about the best first foods and feeding methods

With so many options - baby-led weaning, purees, or a combination of both, it’s normal to feel confused. You’re seeking guidance on the most appropriate feeding strategy and how introduce the most nutrient-dense foods at the right time.

➜ You’re anxious about introducing allergens and ensuring food safety

Concerns about allergens, choking and gagging are completely normal. You want to introduce foods safely and with confidence, ensuring they’re appropriate for your baby’s age and developmental stage.

➜ You want to foster healthy eating habits from an early age

Creating enjoyable mealtimes and cultivating healthy eating habits is important for your child’s development. You’re looking for practical ways to encourage your little one to explore a variety of nutritious foods and develop a positive relationship with food. 

➜ You’re worried about your little one’s fussy eating

Coping with a fussy eater can be stressful and disheartening. You’re searching for strategies to ease mealtime struggles, broaden your child’s food options, and promote a more adventurous approach to eating.

 FAQ

  • You can book an online appointment or a free 15 minutes discovery call by using the contact form.

  • Before our first appointment, you’ll complete a questionnaire providing information about your child’s diet and mealtimes. A food diary, and occasionally a mealtime video, can also offer valuable insights.

    During our initial consultation, we’ll delve deeper into your child’s health history and diet, as well as address any nutritional and feeding concerns you may have. This is a valuable opportunity for me to fully understand your child’s and family’s circumstances and for you to ask any questions that you may have. Following this, you’ll receive a bespoke plan that includes dietary and nutrition recommendations, practical tips and resources, all tailored to your child’s individuality and needs.  

    Follow up appointments offer a chance to review the plan, track progress and make any necessary adjustments.

    All appointments are conducted on Zoom.
