Our Dietitian can support children with: 

  • Fussy and restrictive eating

  • Faltering growth or slow weight gain 

  • Food allergies and intolerances

  • Micronutrient deficiencies (e.g. iron deficiency)

  • Gastrointestinal concerns (e.g. constipation, diarrhoea, coeliac disease)

  • Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes

  • Increased weight gain or paediatric obesity 

Our dietitian can help navigate the confusing world of nutrition using an evidence-based approach to help support the unique needs of children and adolescents. Dietitians play a crucial role in promoting optimal growth, development, and overall health in the paediatric population by addressing a variety of nutritional concerns, including fussy and restrictive eating, dietary deficiencies, allergies and intolerances, gastrointestinal concerns, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and weight management, including faltering growth.

Initial consults will involve a comprehensive assessment, where our dietitian will gather information on your child’s background, including medical history, growth and development milestones, nutritional intake, and the household environment. They collaborate with healthcare professionals such as doctors, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists to develop personalised nutrition plans that meet the individual needs of each child. This may involve recommending specific diets, addressing feeding challenges and providing education on healthy eating habits. Dietitian’s also play a vital role in supporting families in making practical and sustainable lifestyle changes, emphasising the importance of balanced nutrition for the long-term wellbeing of children, and ensuring mealtimes remain positive and enjoyable for all.
