This a very specialised, detailed and comprehensive program, which includes a series of sessions to help a family feed their child. It requires an initial assessment for any child who has mild to severe feeding difficulties, or where parents are feeling it challenging to feed a child different textures/food groups/advance to solids from a milk based diet. This involves a comprehensive and a customised Feeding plan for each child and family. Sessions are conducted by our Feeding Team, headed by Dr Nidhi Rawal, in the presence of one or both parents. Parents are trained as part of this program. We work with the family to address any underlying medical concerns or oro-motor apraxia (chewing difficulties), that might be contributing to difficult feeding. Each family is provided a comprehensive and detailed diet plan, according to the child's age, to make sure the child's diet is nutritionally adequate and balanced in every way possible.
