- 1 Lecture of 35 mins on the reasons that feeding difficulties occur
- 1 lecture of 35 mins on how to manage feeding difficulties at home with practical tips that can be implemented prior to the virtual meeting.
There will be a 1 hour virtual meeting with Prof. Rosan Meyer and Dr. Polly James, that are limited to 8 parents.

Parents will be sent a post meeting assessment and once this has been completed, they will also receive a short handout with a summary of tips to help them manage their child’s feeding difficulties.
The cost of the course is £80.
