Wholesome Child was created to provide informative and creative advice, support and inspiration to empower parents to make healthier food choices for their kids.

Wholesome Child founder, child nutrition expert and mother of two, Mandy Sacher, is a Paediatric Nutritionist and SOS Feeding Consultant. Her private practice focuses on prenatal and childhood nutrition, helping parents and mums-to-be feed their children healthy, nourishing foods right from the start.

Mandy’s philosophy is simple: train children’s taste-buds to enjoy nourishing, nutritionally beneficial foods early as possible to ensure optimal development and establishment of lifelong healthy eating behaviours.

Five fats you need to know about when feeding children

Rich, creamy foods satisfy us in a way that other foods just can’t. They may call to mind the comfort of our first foods in breast milk or formula, which supply 40-50 per cent of a baby’s energy as fat.

Sticks and stones can break their bones...but words used about food and bodies can hurt too

Children learn about the world through the perspective of the caring adults around them. Educators warn children not to touch something, because it’s too hot. Parents tell children they are gorgeous, cheeky, silly or brave, and children quickly learn what is noticed about their behaviour, and what is ignored.
