MILK TO MEALTIME

About

Hey! I'm Laura Bottiglieri I am a Highly Specialist Dysphagia Speech and Language Therapist. I have been offering high-quality therapeutic services for infants, children's and adults with learning difficulties eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties to families, schools, nurseries and other care settings in my NHS role since 2014.

I wanted to bring you Milk to Mealtime as a hub of information, guidance and support so you can become your child's best therapist. I want Milk to Mealtime to help stop you fearing the next mealtime and learn to look forward to them together.

There is growing need out there for families who are desperate for support for their reluctant eaters, for their fussy eaters, for their ate once and never again eaters, for their 'I'll only eat if Mummy feeds me' eaters, for their my child only eats certain textures or won't chew eaters, for their will only eat walking around eaters. I'm hearing more and more that the families that fall in these categories have nowhere to turn to and no one to help them because the service doesn't exist or their child's eating isn't 'bad' enough or risky enough. If the support isn't there or there is limited service to prevent these things becoming issues in the first place this can create entrenched eating and drinking difficulties that didn't need to be a difficultly in the first place which then has a knock on effect on the health service; the vicious cycle continues.

So if you can't manage the waiting time, or have no other service options come and join our club and gain some knowledge as to how to move forwards. Club info below in the 'What's on' section.

We are here for you!
