What to expect:

1. An Initial consultations will take about one hour, where Delfa will get to know you and your family and assess your child's growth, medical and feeding history, dietary intake and may observe your child during a mealtime session. Nutrition and feeding goals are then developed together with you and your family. 

2. An individualised nutrition plan will be developed and sent to you via email after the appointment. The plan will include realistic and practical advice that takes into account you child's nutrient requirements, food intolerances, food preferences, medical needs, growth and developmental needs. The plan may include meal plans, recipes, feeding regimes and sensory desensitisation and mealtime behaviour strategies to help you achieve your child and family’s feeding goals.

3. Follow-up consultations will provide ongoing nutrition review and feeding therapy and to discuss your child's progress and your experiences by going through any questions, problem solving and fine-tuning the initial plan.
