Establishing a Healthy Relationship with Food and Eating

Beginning solids with your infant is such an exciting time; it can also be very overwhelming. A few questions we often receive:

  1. How do I wean or condense breast milk or formula feeds while introducing solids?

  2. How do I know when my little one is full?

  3. How do I know my infant is receiving adequate nutrition intake for growth?

  4. How do I know how much to feed my infant?

  5. My infant or toddler is struggling with weight gain; how can I help to improve their growth?

At Sprout Pediatric Nutrition, we can provide a nutrition evaluation and answer any questions about infant and toddler feeding. At the end of the day, it is important to help infants and toddlers establish a healthy relationship with food and eating. Responsive feeding practices are a key component to creating a positive feeding experience.
