A little feeding insight from our Speechie Holly...
Sometimes feeding is messy. Sometimes itโs loud. Sometimes barely any food actually makes it into their mouth.
For us, this looked like baby-led weaning - lots of exploring, touching, squishing, throwingโฆ and yes, a LOT of mess. ๐
It worked really well for our family, but itโs definitely not the only way to feed, and it wonโt suit every baby or child. ๐ค
We also found that posture made a big difference. Having a stable, supported position at the table helped create a more comfortable and safe foundation for eating and exploring food.
Every baby and childโs feeding journey looks different. What works beautifully for one family might not work for another - and thatโs okay.
For us, keeping mealtimes low-pressure and giving plenty of opportunities to explore food was something that worked well.
If feeding is feeling tricky, stressful or just not quite how you expected, weโre always happy to chat. Get in touch with our team and we can help you work out what support might be helpful for your little one.
