Description

Two clinicians answering the questions parents actually Google at 2am, with the answers we'd give you in clinic. Specialist Paediatric Dietitian and Feeding Therapist Lucy Upton and Consultant Paediatrician Dr Nick Makwana cut through the parenting and health noise. From feeding, growth and illness to development and behaviour, we explore what the evidence says, what we see in practice and what's genuinely worth worrying about. No scaremongering. No fads. Just practical, expert advice made for parents.
