Are you an advocate for trust-based feeding based on sDOR?
Feeding well isn’t it just about raising a confident and joyful eater. It is about raising a confident and joyful person. Feeding well is about loving, knowing, and respecting your child, responding to their needs, and feeling successful with them.
This book is written to parents, to encourage you to trust your natural instincts with feeding your child. It is also written for professionals who work with you, who need evidence to be able to support you in doing well with feeding.
