'I felt an utter failure as I couldn’t manage to do something so basic as feed my child.'
‘I didn’t need convincing by this approach at all, I could see the magic happening right away,’ she adds.However, at the age of two, Theo began to develop food aversion, and oral hypersensitivity.
With the new feeding approach, Graces says she learnt and reduced her expectations of Theo’s eating, and accepted that he may not like all foods. ‘We had a part-time nanny who showed us how to wean by pushing pureed food into their mouths. I had no idea and did the same, but in hindsight, this did us no favours.’For Grace, while she had been through a stressful situation she decided to start sharing her journey with others., to raise awareness of a different approach to feeding, one that was gentle and went at the child’s pace. I did not plan to start a business, just share information.
Grace says now she has stopped worrying about the quantity of food for her children and has set up happier associations. ‘He doesn’t eat his vegetables quite like my daughter, but again, it’s about going at their own paces, I know he’ll get there and better to keep mealtimes light and pressure-free than to give him further phobias of certain food by forcing him to eat.’
