08.01.2022 A nice glue ear explanation

08.01.2022 A simple principle that is very important for reducing mealtime struggles! Ellyn Satter - division of responsibility.

07.01.2022 These should come in wallet size so parents can have them handy when they go to the supermarket!! Great ideas for the next finger food to try! Always consider your childs skill level when offering foods.

06.01.2022 Today's Chewsday request comes from my friend and colleague Val, who is a speech pathologist and feeding guru over in Newcastle NSW at Let's Eat! Paediatric Sp...eech Pathology . She was asking about Freedom Foods' version of Nutri-Grain, known as Maple Crunch. Both foods have 4 stars in the health star rating, so which is the better option? Ingredients: gluten free flour mix (76%) including rice, sorghum and corn flour, sugar, psyllium husks, maple syrup, canola oil, salt emulsifier and flavours. Nutri-Grain contains similar ingredients, but use gluten-containing flours and have added protein and added vitamins and minerals. the two sources of sugar in this product are regular sugar and maple syrup. Maple syrup has almost the exact same nutritional content as regular sugar, so please don't be fooled into thinking this is a 'healthier' sugar. In comparison, Nutri-Grain contains sugar and molasses. Psyllium husk is a type of soluble fibre, which is useful for preventing constipation. In comparison, Nutri-Grain contains oat fibre. The positives: if you have a child with confirmed food allergies, then this cereal is obviously a great option. It's free from gluten, nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs and soy. Having said that- if your child is not allergic to these ingredients, please don't avoid them! Gluten, nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs and soy are all nutritious ingredients and provide protein, fats and carbohydrates for growth, as well as a host of vitamins and minerals. Lots of people think that gluten free means healthier, but this is rarely the case. good fibre content with 3.5g per serve. In comparison, Nutri-Grain offers 2g of fibre per serve. generally low fat and saturated fat content, although not as low as Nutri-Grain. not a super high sodium (salt) content (but also not super low!). Nutri-Grain has 30% more sodium, which isn't so good. The negatives: generally we aim for less than 15% sugar in a food product. This cereal contains 15.7% sugar, tipping it just over the recommended level for foods. In comparison, Nutri-Grain comprises 26.7% sugar. half the total protein of Nutri-Grain, but remember that most Australian kids have plenty of protein in their diets. not a source of iron, calcium or folate like Nutri-Grain is. A cup of Nutri-Grain provides 1/3 of a young child's daily iron requirements, whilst Maple Crunch doesn't provide any. The marketing: I find the marketing of Maple Crunch almost nauseating. There are so many 'claims' all over the box, but most of them are pretty vague. E.g. "Good food karma" "Nourishing food that loves your body back" Blah Blah Blah . the "Free From Allergens" is also a big selling point. For kids with allergies, this company guarantees a cereal manufactured in an Australian factory that has absolutely no risk of contamination from gluten or nuts. For those anaphylactic kiddies and parents, this is very reassuring. Again though, if neither you nor your child actually have a confirmed allergy, then this fact shouldn't convince you to buy the product. "Naturally sweetened with maple syrup". Ok this is just downright ridiculous. Maple syrup is no more 'natural' than regular sugar. Sure, maple sap comes from a tree, but you can't just hold your container underneath and fill it up. There is a production process including heating and filtering and packaging. I love maple syrup as much as the next person, but 'natural' is purely an emotional term, and highly misleading at that. Maple Crunch: $1.65 per 100g vs Nutri-Grain $1.74 per 100g. This is based on the 300g packets- bigger packets of Nutri-Grain are obviously cheaper. Same same. The alternatives: Maple Crunch has a lower sugar content and higher fibre content, but Nutri-Grain has a lower fat content and higher protein and iron content. I think they're probably much of a muchness overall, and I'd suggest you choose the product that suits your needs better. For kids who are eating lots of sweet foods, then I'd choose Maple Crunch over Nutri-Grain. For kids eating little protein or iron sources, I'd choose Nutri-Grain over Maple Crunch. Realistically, both of these products are sources of sugar, which isn't a necessity at breakfast time. If you've got other options then I'd choose Weetbix, low sugar Cheerios or porridge. Thanks to all of you who are suggesting some great foods for my reviews! Can't wait to get to them
