Summer at Well Fed Feeding Therapy is coming fast and we are hosting an 8-week series of groups that you won’t want to miss!
🌱🍓🍉🥕🐥

These groups will be fun-filled spaces where:
✨ feeding feels less stressful
✨ play feels more connected
✨ caregivers feel supported instead of judged
✨ kids can explore, grow, regulate, and have FUN without pressure

This summer we’re offering supportive, relationship-based groups for:
🌱 Prenatal + newborn feeding support
🥕 Infant feeding + regulation
🍓 Starting solids
🍉 DIR/Floortime playgroups
🥔 Picky eating + food exploration
🐔 Food adventures for older kids

Whether your child is:
• learning to latch
• starting solids
• living off 5 safe foods
• avoiding messy play
• struggling with flexibility around food
• needing support with connection, regulation, or play

…there’s a place for you here.

These groups were intentionally designed to feel calm, playful, supportive, and REAL. No pressure. No shame. No “just make them eat.” Just practical support, connection, and guidance from clinicians who truly get it.

Spots will be intentionally limited to keep groups small, supportive, and individualized 💛

Registration is opening later this week for:
🌱 Seedlings
🥕 Baby Carrots
🍓 Sweet Peas
🍓 Strawberry Patch
🍉 Watermelon Patch
🥔 Tater Tots
🐔 Chicken Nuggets

Comment SUMMER if you are excited!

My biggest pet peeve is when people use the term “picky eating” to talk about all kids with feeding differences and challenges.

Not all feeding challenges are the same, and understanding the difference is where meaningful support begins.

Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) isn’t just “picky eating.”
It’s a diagnosable condition defined by impaired oral intake that isn’t age-appropriate and is associated with dysfunction in one or more of four domains:

✨ Medical
✨ Nutritional
✨ Feeding Skill
✨ Psychosocial

Here’s where it often gets confusing:

👉 Picky eating can be a typical part of development
👉 PFD involves functional disruption across one or more domains
👉 Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a mental health diagnosis rooted in restriction/avoidance that leads to significant nutritional or psychosocial impact

These can overlap but they are not interchangeable.

This matters because the “why” behind a child’s feeding challenges determines the “how” to support the child and their caregivers. My role as an SLP feeding therapist falls primary within the feeding skill and psychosocial domains, but I need to be aware of medical and nutritional influences because if those need to be addressed first, I won’t get very far in my therapy sessions.

Feeding therapy for PFD isn’t about “getting kids to eat.”
It’s about:
✔️ supporting safety and skill
✔️ building trust and regulation
✔️ addressing underlying medical/nutritional needs
✔️ creating positive, pressure-free feeding experiences

If this helped clarify things, send it to someone who’s trying to figure out what’s really going on at their child’s table.

The real “lucky charms” in feeding therapy aren’t magic (but it can sometimes be cereal!). Instead, they’re the foundations that make progress and learning possible. Without these, the brain is not available for learning and integrating new skills.

Safety. Trust. Attunement. Regulation. Connection. Play. Autonomy. Curiosity.

When these are in place, progress isn’t luck, but it’s still magical. ✨

Which one feels most important for your child? Or for you as a feeding therapist?

Send it to your favorite feeding therapist 💛 or save it for yourself as a reminder when you are needing some extra magic in your life.

💥You’ve tried “just one bite”
💥You’ve tried waiting for them to want to try new foods.
💥You worry that they will be eating chicken nuggets or PB&J at their wedding.
💥You actually feel more stressed now than when you started.
💥And none of it is working.

When Worry Shows Up At The Table is a four week series that is unlike any other. It combines the skill of a feeding therapist plus the insight of a mental health counselor to help families who feel stuck supporting their child’s eating habits.

There are no quick fixes or pressure tactics, no bribing or begging, only real tools to help meal times feel calmer, more connected, and actually supportive of your child’s eating.

By the end of the four weeks, you will have tools to help you understand why food worry shows up, how to stop relying on negotiating to get through meals, and language to support your child when worry shows up at the table.

Mealtime CAN feel better than this.
Let us help you. 🩷
