How Intuitive Weaning Shapes Early Years Communication - Early Years Insights
In part two of our discussion on infant nutrition, Kathy Leatherbarrow welcomes back Lisa Wallace, founder of Intuitive Weaning. With over 23 years of experience in early years, Lisa dives into why weaning is so much more than just a mechanical milestone - it is a creative, sensory-rich journey that directly impacts oral development and early speech.
Key Discussion Points:
- Connecting Oral Development and Speech: Understanding how tongue movement, jaw strength, and texture exploration during weaning lay the physical foundations for language.
- Navigating SEND and Sensory Overload: A compassionate look at neurodivergent food preferences, "beige food," and why a child's nervous system can shut down before they even taste new textures.
- Allergies vs. Intolerances: Removing fear from mealtimes by equipping practitioners with the knowledge to handle food sensitivities and guide anxious parents safely.
