It's never too early to start teaching kids about good gut health.

This book written by Professor Felice Jacka - Professor of Nutritional Psychiatry and Director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University is incredible and a perfect way to educate kids about whole foods with a focus away from 'healthy' or 'not healthy', but instead what keeps our good gut bugs happy and thriving.

It includes food ideas and bug recipes!

I have been working with Harvey and his family for almost 2 years in our feeding clinic at The Cerebral Palsy Alliance, North Wollongong with incredible Speech Pathologist, Jo Grayson. He was receiving 100% of his nutrition and hydration through a feeding tube. Since completing a block of Vitalstim Therapy, his food intake has increased substantially and now has days of minimal tube feeds. I am blown away and feel very privileged to work with clinicians embracing this technology.

Iron fortified breads are an excellent way to get iron into your child's diet if they don't eat meat, fish or legumes. Two slices = almost half the recommended amount of daily iron for kids 4-8 years.
