Hello and welcome back to The Night Feed. Tonight, I spoke with Laura Bottiglieri, a Paediatric Feeding Specialist who shared some amazing insights and tips on feeding and weaning. I think you'll find the conversation useful no matter what stage of the feeding journey you're on. Enjoy!

Here's Laura's details:

It was such a pleasure to join The Nightfeed Podcast and share the journey behind Milk to Mealtime, my approach to feeding therapy, and my passion for supporting families to create positive and nourishing mealtime experiences.

While much of the discussion focused on breastfeeding, Laura wanted to emphasise in the notes that there’s always more to say about bottle feeding too. Whether bottle feeding is the choice you made or the card you were dealt, there are ways to optimise it for both parent and baby. Laura strongly affirms, celebrates and supports all paths to nourishing your baby, whatever that looks like for your family.

If this resonates with you, I encourage you to seek the support you need—there’s always more to explore and understand about feeding. If you'd like to learn more about my services, join our Live Webinars or get in touch, you can find me at www.milktomealtime.com, on Instagram at @milktomealtime or via email at info.milktomealtime@gmail.com. If you aren't sure if you are ready yet, let's have a quick chat (it's free!) and get things started.

I hope our conversation empowers you to take the next step, wherever your family's feeding journey may be!
