Feeding difficulties are very common. Between 25 and 50 percent of typically developing babies experience challenges. When it comes to neurodiverse children, that figure rises to 80 percent. If improperly addressed, this can affect their health and wellness throughout childhood and even into adulthood.

Resources for parents on feeding disabled or neurodiverse children are scarce. That's where this book comes in. Your Baby Can Self-Feed, Too, is an inclusive guide to feeding children who need extra support.
