When should food be introduced? Is there a preference to which food groups should be introduced first? How often should I feed, and what is a healthy age-appropriate portion?

These and more are questions that as parents, guardians or carers we ask as we approach the stage of introducing food to the children we care for. 

This Seminar aims at answering these and more questions, and provides practical ways of preparing, introducing and storing food, together with the parental skills required during such a process.

It is specifically designed for parents, carers and guardians of infants approaching initial introduction of food, or those who during the weaning process are struggling or feel confused with the many different messages they are being provided with.

All information given is based on updated latest scientific research within Paediatric Nutrition, and notes will be provided.

Seminar will be held both in Malta and Gozo. Contact them for more details.

This will be followed by a Seminar titled ‘Feeding in the Early Years and Beyond’, for which registration will be out in the coming days. This follow-up Seminar will also be held both in Malta and Gozo.
