Your Family Nutritionist

Your Family Nutritionist AfN registered Nutritionist, helping your family to love food and stay healthy from the beginning! Hi!

I am Theresa, an AfN registered Nutritionist with over 20 years experience in the field of nutrition and feeding families. I was owner of the award winning company Happy Tums and helped to run it for 8 years before deciding to start up on my own. I specialises in childhood nutrition and run weaning and fussy eater workshops in Essex and the surrounding areas. These workshops are either at local venues such as church halls, online or private group sessions in your own home are also available. Come along to learn how to give your baby the best start with food! Some of the things I cover include the baby led weaning approach, purées, choking, allergies, dropping milk feeds and so much more! I also offer you on-going support afterwards and I will always be available to answer any questions that you have via my group page which you will be added to following a workshop.

A baby's hunger depends on so many factors, teething, tiredness, illness, growth, sensory overload - to name a few! But, because of this, we can't publish portion guidelines for weaning babies as every day and at every mealtime, their hunger will be different, thus affecting how much they eat.
So, as caregivers, we need to understand those physical signs that your baby is hungry or full.

Have you noticed how your baby "tells" you they are hungry or full?

Food can be so useful if your baby is teething and larger, stronger pieces of food can be very useful to allow your baby to "learn" how to eat.
Did you know that babies are born with the ability to swallow, but they need to be taught and to learn themselves how to chew!

If you are wondering about how on earth you are going to start weaning your little one, come and join me on a weaning workshop and learn how to make this adventure safe, healthy and fun!

Love a pinwheel! So simple! Can be frozen individually and defrosted in the fridge overnight.
Perfect for little and big hands!

These are puff pastry, pesto, ham and mozzarella.
For babies, switch the ham out and replace with some roasted veg or sliced roast chicken!
