Pre-Adoption Prep

For many adopted children, the change in environment, food, and feeding methods can be overwhelming and poorly received at first. While it’s important to meet a child’s nutritional needs, it’s equally important to do so in a non-threatening way.

Here is information to help prepare for adapting a newly adopted child’s diet to a nourishing one that will help her heal and grow:

• Stages of feeding for infants

• Understanding your child’s native diet

• Breastfeeding the adopted child

• Understanding food allergies and intolerances

• All about formula and milk

• Nutrition packing list
