Mealtime Notions LLC was
created to provide mealtime support for parents and professionals
who feed infants and young children with special feeding
challenges.
The children we serve have difficulties coordinating the
process of sucking, swallowing, and breathing, handling
the sensory aspects of mealtimes and have a hard time getting
in enough calories to grow. Many of them need supplemental
tube feeding to help with nutrition. Often their enjoyment
of mealtimes is dampened because of the neurological, genetic,
cardiac, metabolic, sensory and experientialchallenges they
have encountered.We
provide educational opportunities with workshops, therapy
consultation and shared information, as well as favorite
mealtime resources and materials.

All
of our mealtime support is based on the notion that feeding is,
firstand foremost, a special relationship between the child and
the feeder. That trusting feeding relationship must be nurtured
at mealtimes andin all mealtime helping strategies.
It is our goal to help families and professionals:
- Create
positive mealtimes and feeding relationships while nourishing
all mealtime participants
- To
understand mealtimes from the perspective of the childand family
- To
identify and create strategies for treatment of themedical,
oral motor, sensory, emotional and environmentalchallenges that
affect feeding
- To
look past the mouth and into the bigger pictureof mealtime
- To
support parents in their roles as "provider of nourishment"
for their child
