The festive season can bring excitement, but also extra stress when your child has feeding challenges. New foods, disrupted routines, and well-meaning comments can all add pressure. Try these top tips to make Christmas an enjoyable experience for all.

Can you spot the difference?

A banana and a cracker might look simple… but they’re completely different sensory experiences! Very rarely do you get two bananas that are exactly the same (unless you ate two from the same bunch at the exact same time). But crackers? They are always going to be the same

With lots of children in the middle of navigating school camp, we thought we'd share some tips. School camp doesn't have to be stressful when your child has a restricted diet. With planning, familiar foods, and support, your child can enjoy the experience and feel safe around food.

We've been working on a little something behind the scenes, our Empower & Support Feeding Program is getting a revamp (a huge revamp)!

So far in the program we have seen some pretty amazing results such as:

Initial challenges: Down to a handful of foods, lack of appetite, food refusal, losing weight

Outcomes achieved: Increased food volume and variety, maintaining weight, recognisable appetite

There is lots of updates to come around this........... Thanks for sticking with us!

With feeding challenges (and let's face it, in parenting), progress isn't a straight line, and that's ok. Some days, your child may explore, taste, or engage with food... and the next day, they may not even want it on their plate. That doesn't mean you're moving backwards.

Starting preschool or school can be a big shift for children, especially when it comes to eating. For some, the change can make mealtimes feel overwhelming or stressful. Understanding these factors helps us support children with strategies that reduce stress, build regulation, and make eating at preschool or school more manageable.
