Complementary Feeding Consultation

This consultation is helpful for parents and caregivers whose child is at the stage of starting solid foods or when you are planning to begin complementary feeding.

How the consultation works:

• The specialist listens to your questions and reviews your child’s current diet.
• Explains how to introduce new foods properly, including potential allergens, and what to monitor in case of reactions.
• Advises on how to respond to allergic reactions — which symptoms require immediate medical attention and which can be safely observed.
• Provides recommendations for a “first-aid kit for starting solids” — what to have on hand for safe response to reactions.
• Offers guidance on feeding equipment, high chairs, and organizing meals according to the child’s age and individual needs.
• Answers all your questions and helps you start complementary feeding with confidence.
• After the consultation, you receive written materials with recommendations and examples of food introduction.
