Pediatric Feeding
Picky Eaters | Meeting Developmental Milestones | Breast & Bottle Feeding
Are you the parent of a child who only wants to eat PB&J sandwiches and crackers? Have you tried encouraging your child to eat different foods (like vegetables, fruits, meats), but haven’t had much success? Are you tired of having to distract your child with screen-time in order to get them to take just a few more bites? You’re NOT alone & Denise is here to help.
Do you want to feel more confident in supporting your child as he/she progresses through feeding milestones? Are you wondering, when & how do I transition to purees, or other textured foods? Should I try open cup drinking? What kind of straw cup should I use?
Perhaps your baby is having a difficult time when breast or bottle feeding. Did he or she have a tongue or lip tie? Is he or she coughing or choking during meals, arching the back when feeding, crying excessively, or having weight loss or a lack of weight gain? Was he or she born prematurely?
For children 2 years and older, does your child cough, choke, eat slowly, drool excessively, have a change in voice quality when eating?
Denise works with families & children through feeding therapy or parent/caregiver coaching to support safety, efficiency, variety, independence & fun during mealtimes!
