For children
We work with babies, children and teenagers, from 0 to 18 years and their families to build eating and feeding skills. This is important for children to grow and learn.
These skills are also help create positive meal times for families and supporting children’s health and wellbeing in later life.
We will start with an appointment with you and your child to assess their feeding skills and nutrition needs. We will work with you to make practical food suggestions. We work closely with other child and family service providers to promote nutrition and feeding goals for your child’s overall growth and development.
Other helpful resources:
