I’m Cathy, a Mum of 3 with over 15 years experience in CHI @ Temple Street. As a senior Paediatric Dietitian I know how valuable it is to introduce families to the nurturing foundations of food before any problems begin. MY MOTIVATION:
My purpose is to support parents as they transition through the phases and stages of feeding their family. As a senior Paediatric Dietitian my work is dedicated to eduacting, empowering and enabling parents to feed their children what they need without unnecessary cost, time, tantrums or guilt. Because weaning is the foundation of nurturing a lifelong positive relationship with food. I created weaning.ie to allow all parents access to evidenced based essentials on how to feed your babies, toddlers and families to minimise illness, concern, battles and overwhelm. This isn’t about should or shouldn’t it’s about creating a positive lifelong relationship with food, as a family. Working with me is not about the weight of our children, it’s about reducing the weight of motherhood on our shoulders to get it right 100% of the time. Weaning is chapter one. A lifelong relationship with food is the full story. I provide Weaning and Toddler Masterclasses and webinars. I am also available for 1:1 Consultations. I’ve written a blog post on why I do what I do, you can grab it here. I share lots of free stuff in my newsletter, The Highchair - you can sign up here. MY BACKGROUND:
On completing my B.Sc at NUIG in 2004, I graduated with an M.Sc Dietetics from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. I have been working with families just like yours since 2008. I have experience in many different areas of childhood nutrition including weaning, feeding toddlers, fussy eating, allergies, weight management, Metabolic Disorders and Type 1 Diabetes. I am a member of the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute and registered with CORU and that means I am covered by health insurance.
