HOMECOOKING & KIDS HEALTH
WITH DR MEGAN YAP

Who is Dr Megs?

Hi!  I am Dr Megs! I’m mum to two wonderful, albeit (occasionally) challenging little people, a paediatrician based in Brisbane Queensland, and a passionate home cook. My little ones are the centre of my universe.  Every day is a juggle between being the best mum I can be, while balancing being the best doctor I can be to my wonderful patients and their families.

It has been through my work, that I came to realise that so many parents find it hard to find practical and reliable sources of evidence-based information on topics suited to their children and related health or developmental issues. This realisation has led me on the most amazing and heart-warming journey.  In June 2017, with a little help from my husband Troy, I set up the Paeds and Feeds Facebook page and Blog.

Since then, I have gained an army of followers that have become my extended friends and family.  It has grown bigger than I could ever have possibly imagined.  And now 3 years on, we are still growing, sharing our stories, celebrating parenthood and family with delicious food coupled with Easy-to-read, EVIDENCE BASED information on kids’ health topics from a real “Dr Mum.”

So, grab a cuppa and settle in for some yummy food – both traditional Malaysian Chinese meals taught to me by my beloved mum, as well recipes I use when I need to get dinner on the table in 20 minutes with a child hanging off each leg.  I will also share with you some practical advice on kid’s health topics that you (and other parents) will hopefully find useful!

Enjoy!  And thanks for popping by!

What an enormous topic to write about! There are precious few parents out there who can say that their child(ren) is not a picky or fussy eater. If you are one of those parents, scroll on mate.  The rest of us don’t want to hear from you.  Ha ha… just...
