Programs
Our program is designed for 30 days. We designed an online program based on our 20 years of experience in home-based weaning and research. What most families need is an open space to ask questions as well as getting answers. Some of the questions will be short and informative, we have a message board for this. Some are more specific, will take more room to discuss, we will meet in video conferences for this. The weaning process is challenging and sometimes families need an overview about which point in a wean they are at. We have a specific form for documentation of the progress and will adapt tube feedings based on your daily plan.
Ready for wean?
1. Initial Consultation: Begin your journey with a video call consultation with our weaning experts to assess your child’s unique needs, feeding habits, medical background and readiness for wean.
2. Comprehensive Assessment: We will assess weaning readiness based on our Readiness for Wean Protocol. Based on the assessment we will prepare you and your child for the weaning:
- Parents Interview: Discussion to gain insight into your child’s feeding challenges

3. Personalized Feeding Reduction Plan: A step-by-step individual strategy hunger induction plan, with daily adaptions during the four-week program, based on your child´s needs.
