infant feeding

Mealtimes are an amazing opportunity to understand what an infant needs to grow. The foods we choose, portion sizes, timing, and even the social environment we create play an important role in an infant’s development.

Sometimes we wonder if baby is getting enough to eat or adequate nutrients to ensure healthy development. It can also be a challenge to determine the right time to start introducing solids or new foods. In addition to the nutritional considerations of mealtime, there are so many opportunities to engage with a child that help them feel supported, safe, and loved; as well as chances to practice activities that help develop self-help and fine motor skills.
