Wishing you all a very happy festive season! Hoping you’ve all found some time to sit in the silliness that is this season, take some breaths, and notice the joy. As parents this season can be tough, we certainly get that! Sending strength to you all!

Here we go! Posterior tongue tie - not terminology you will hear from me, given that it is anatomically incorrect, as discovered in 2019 by Nikki Mills & co in their cadaver dissection study. Our first line of management should always be using clinical reasoning to support the presenting concern. Oh, and if a release occurs and it then results in a significant oral aversion, for goodness sake let’s not recommend getting that release done again because it didn’t work the first time…🤦🏻‍♀️

Tubes & Chats, Christmas edition! 🎅🏼 Join .and.munch and on Monday December 15th, 8.45-10.30am at in Erina for an end of year catch up and a little Christmas cheer! We are so thankful that are sharing their beautiful space with us!

This is our monthly meet up where parents of tube fed babies have an opportunity to connect, share stories & top tips, and just chat over a coffee. This month we’re expanding this to encompass any families with children who have medical complexities who may need a space to chat with other families in similar situations. We’re creating a community here - families who just need more similar people in their corner for support.

Cost:
$6 per adult (inclusive of a $5 drink voucher)
Babes in arms - free
Children - discounted entry available, reach out to discuss
RSVP essential to ensure we’ve got enough space.

And please, if cost is prohibiting your attendance please reach out. We know your journey can be pricey enough as it is. 💚

Share with anyone you know who might benefit or who may have someone to share this with - family, health professional, friend, colleague, neighbour. Let’s work on building a community!

Oh hi! 👋🏼 Welcome to Milk & Munch, where we aim to support families of children with feeding challenges by finding simplicity in a time where things might feel really challenging. Our goal is to support children to eat & drink safely, and to enjoy their food and fluid journey.

We’ve got a ton of experience behind us, heaps of courses and education that we’ve done, and lived experience with some of us being mums ourselves. But most importantly we value listening and finding solutions to support your family. 🧚🏼‍♀️

I’m Eliza, Paediatric Speech Pathologist / Feeding Therapist, & Lactation Consultant in training, and the one you’ll hear most from on socials. I love supporting babies and children and their families. I’ve got 12+ years experience as a Speech Pathologist, and have been working with a complex paediatric dysphagia / feeding caseload for most of that time. I can’t wait to get signed off as an IBCLC to be able to support you all further! 🤱🏻

💌 Need help? Reach out. Always here via DM, or you can email us - info@milkandmunch.com.au, or call/text on 0432 987 855.

Just another plate pic - feeling a little lazy on the content today! At least I’m honest 😂 here we have a little grazing lunch. What was consumed? The jatz crackers. Just the crackers. Plus more crackers, of course. No cheese. Oh, and one piece of cucumber. Brilliant. 👍🏼 I provided foods he enjoys. He decided his belly wasn’t so hungry after all. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Elevated side lying position - a simple position change that can make a world of difference for some babies with feeding challenges. Swipe across to learn why it is a position we recommend regularly.

How do you manage Halloween excess in your home? 🍡🍭🍬🍫

There’s a lot of chat out there at this time of year about how to manage lollies and kids. Do this, don’t do that..etc etc etc. 😵‍💫

What we want to know is what sits well with you and your parenting approach?

We know there’s evidence to suggest that limiting foods based on our own assumptions can create bad relationships with foods, and I am 100% on board with trying my hardest to help my kids eat intuitively. But honestly - giving up all limitations on lollies is a really big stretch for most parents (including us) because that simply wasn’t part of our lives growing up. It’s really hard to parent in a way that we weren’t parented!

What do we do for our nearly 4yr old? We give free access initially, and have a lot of conversations about how we are feeling along the way. We point out what we notice, and see if he can identify a solution. For example - “hey bud, I’m noticing you’re having trouble focusing right now”. Or we make suggestions like “hey I wonder if we need some other type of food to help our brain feel less fuzzy?”. If he says no, we say ok. We are just planting seeds! 🌱

We don’t talk negatively about lollies. We just speak honestly about the way they make our bodies feel. Once the event is over, we go back to usual programming. If he asks for lollies from his stash, we offer them alongside a mealtime - “sure, we can get some out to have with our morning tea”.

Honestly - we’ve done this for a few years with Easter and party bags and the rest, and he always seems to find his own limit. But also - sometimes we don’t do it this way. Sometimes we say no, or we limit based on our own adult rules, or we hide them and never speak of them again, or we eat them all and pretend he never had any in the first place (wait - am I gaslighting my child? 😬). But in those moments, that’s what we have deemed as manageable for our family, and that is OK! 👌🏼 There will always be more opportunities to tweak what we do, to learn, and to grow.

Happy Halloween, everyone. 🎃
