Feeding in the first year

From the very first feed, parents are creating the beginning of a lifelong relationship with food for their baby. But when feeding doesn’t go to plan – which it often doesn’t, parents can start to feel overwhelmed in navigating the challenges that arise. If you’re struggling to get feeding sorted, you certainly aren’t alone.  

It’s common to have questions and challenges around feeding in the first year of your baby’s life. In this episode our host Dr Anthea Rhodes is joined by Maternal Child Health Nurse, Sonia Evans.  

In this the episode parents hear answers to common feeding questions and find guidance and support for decision making about feeding choices and transitions.
