Join us on the latest episode of Learn Play Thrive as we welcome Eliza Peacock from Milk & Munch, a certified speech pathologist with over 12 years of paediatric experience. Eliza is passionate about helping families overcome feeding challenges, from breast and bottle issues to complex swallowing difficulties and tube feeding, as well as navigating hesitancy around new foods.
In this insightful conversation, Eliza will shed light on the prevalence of "picky eating" in early childhood and why this common phase can be so challenging for families. We'll dive deep into the responsive feeding approach, exploring why connection at mealtimes is far more important than focusing solely on food intake.
Eliza shares invaluable neuro-affirming and supportive strategies that Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) services can implement immediately to create more positive and inclusive mealtime experiences for all children, including offering plain meal options, encouraging packed lunches, and empowering children to listen to their bodies. Discover how you can collaborate with families and leverage these strategies to transform mealtimes from battles to joyful bonds – tune in now!
