As parents, we all strive to provide the best for our children, especially when it comes to their health and nutrition. Yet, navigating the maze of infant feeding and gastrointestinal issues can feel like an uphill battle, leaving many of us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn.
From tummy pains and bloating to mealtime battles and meltdowns, the journey of feeding young children is often fraught with challenges. Add to that the pressure of social media, with its endless stream of opinions and guilt-inducing posts about homemade meals and perfectly curated lunchboxes, and it’s no wonder parents find themselves feeling inadequate and stressed.
