Feeding the 6-16 Month Old Child

$155.00

This SOS Advanced Workshop provides a “downward” adaptation of the SOS Approach to Feeding program for the young infant and toddler beginning solid foods at 5-6 months (baby foods, finger foods, table foods) through the transition off the bottle/breast and onto a full table foods diet at about 16-18 months of age. The workshop breaks this time period into 5 time periods and provides recommendations on how to feed a child at each of these stages. The workshop is organized around the differences in feeding schedules, feeding techniques, positioning, types of foods offered and the role of developmental transitions in feeding at each age.
