This is a vital conversation for any parent navigating feeding challenges and looking for compassionate, practical guidance.
In this episode, speech pathologist Eliza from Milk and Munch joins Fi to discuss the intricacies of paediatric feeding therapy. She explains her specialisation and clarifies the key differences between a speech pathologist who focuses on communication and one who centres on feeding.
Eliza breaks down two common but often misunderstood challenges (oral aversion and dysphagia), explaining what they are, how they can co-exist, and the child-led strategies used to manage them. She reinforces that feeding therapy is a long game, emphasising the importance of building trust, advocating for your child, and celebrating even the smallest steps of progress.
Milk & Munch are a passionate and experienced Speech Pathology / Feeding Therapy team based on the Central Coast, NSW, who support infants and children with a wide range of feeding difficulties including paediatric feeding disorder, paediatric dysphagia, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, tube feeding and more.
