Hi! I'm Catherine
HiI’m Catherine, Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN), qualified feeding therapist, responsive feeding pracittioner and founder of Catherine Lippe Nutrition.
I created Catherine Lippe Nutrition to help families get confident with weaning and conquer fussy eating.
I work with many families who want to get their little one off to a good start with weaning or who are trying to navigate their way through food refusal. Whether that’s a period of pickiness or extreme food refusal such as paediatric feeding disorder or ARFID. It can be a worrying time for parents. We all want our children to eat well and to accept a variety of foods to support their growth but feeding difficulties can lead to stressful and exhausting mealtimes. If you’re at the end of your tether at mealtimes and don’t know what to try next I am here to help.
As a qualified feeding therapist and child nutritionist my child-led approach starts with getting to know you and your child’s feeding behaviours. I am here to listen your concerns and to support you in finding the right feeding solutions for your child. I follow a responsive feeding approach which means I focus on encouraging a positive and respectful feeding relationship between you and your child.
The approach we take together will be tailored to your child’s feeding and sensory needs and puts your child at the heart of it. My goal is to give you the confidence and the skills needed to make mealtimes stress free and to help your child enjoy coming to the table and taking part in mealtimes.food.
I have over 15 years’ experience as a paediatric nutritionist and have worked for both the private and public sectors including the NHS where I worked for 7 years as an Early Years Community Nutritionist in East London.
I am a qualified feeding therapist with the SOS approach to feeding and trained in Emotionally Aware Feeding (EAF level 2). Alongside working with families, I am the company nutritionist for Nursery Kitchen and support hundreds of nurseries and early years settings across the UK with menu planning training and food provision in the early years.
I also support many brands and food manufacturers with nutrition advice in relation to child feeding and am featured as child nutrition expert in Mother and Baby, Gurgle magazine, and BBC bitesize.
