This 90 minute consultation will cover everything you need to know about starting your little one on solids. We will begin with an overview of your child’s health history and any family history of known food allergens. We will discuss developmental signs of readiness, knowing when to start solids and how much to offer. 

The different ways of offering solids such as baby led weaning, spoon feeding or combination feeding will be covered, as well as knowing how to balance milk with meals, and recognising signs that your baby is full. 

An important area of coverage is navigating gagging, choking, knowing the high risk foods for these and when to step in. 

You will learn the ideal first foods to offer and ones to delay, as well as the size, shape and textures of foods appropriate for your baby. 

Knowing when to introduce allergens, if your baby may be at risk for developing a reaction and what to do if a reaction occurs are discussed in depth. We will cover the signs of a food sensitivity vs a food allergy, how to navigate constipation when starting solids and when your baby might need additional vitamin supplementation. 

At the end of this consultation you will receive a detailed document summarizing our consultation that includes an allergen checklist and introduction timeline, images and instructions for serving finger food.

Navigating eczema in your child can feel incredibly overwhelming, there is so much (not always helpful) information that can do more damage than good. During this consultation we will discuss the two pronged approach to eczema; focusing on both the external and internal.

Eliminating eczema requires more than a topical treatment, which fails to address the underlying issue. Eczema is an external symptom of internal dysfunction and the only way to properly manage it is from the root. 

We will review your child's current diet (or if not yet on solids and being breastfed, review your own diet), environment, medical history and unpack gut health, digestion and the immune system. The holistic approach to eczema that we take includes an individualised gut support protocol where we focus on eliminating the triggers, strengthening your child's intestinal barrier, rebuilding their microbiome, supplement support and reducing toxin loads. 

The individualised gut support protocol may include an elimination diet where we attempt to identify any food sensitivities that can be contributing to your child's eczema, you will receive support in how to do an elimination diet, what to do once a food sensitivity has been identified and when to retest. 

At the end of your consultation you will receive a personalised and detailed strategy for supporting your child in the elimination of their eczema through both an internal and external approach. This will include a document of our holistic recommendations for topical and environmental management.  

Please note, supplements or gut microbiome testing will incur an additional fee.
