Hey there! I'm Soleina, Registered Dietitian and mom of two toddlers. I have worked for the past 7 years as a clinical pediatric dietitian and have focused my career on pediatric nutrition and feeding. I currently am privileged to work with the Complex Feeding team BC Children’s Hospital where I support families to wean off their tube feeds and learn the skills required to eat!
My practice is based on a holistic, evidence-based approach to ensure the whole family is nourished. As a mom of two completely different feeders, I empathize with the feeling that your child is not eating “enough”. My goal when working with families is to support caregivers to feel confident in their child’s feeding abilities and growth and to help make mealtimes more enjoyable!
I offer in-home (North Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby or Richmond) or virtual (across BC) consults. Nurture Feeding offers joint OT/RD visits to provide a comprehensive approach to feeding.
My practice areas include:
- Breast/Bottle Feeding
- Newborn and infant nutrition and growth
- Top-up feeds, formula selection, and pumping schedule
- Infant and Child Feeding
- Starting solids
- Baby-led weaning
- Common feeding concerns e.g. difficulty advancing textures, transitioning away from breast/bottle, throwing/spitting foods
- Creating a positive mealtime environment
- Maternal and Child Nutrition
- Prenatal and postpartum nutrition
- Optimizing nutritional intake for selective feeders
- Introducing allergens
