Paediatric Dietitian Services

Our Dietitian’s are both Accredited Practicing Dietitian’s (APD)

You don’t need expensive foods, complicated recipes, or restrictive diets to support your child’s health and wellbeing.

Our dietitians take the time to understand your child’s lifestyle, eating habits, and unique needs. We work closely with children and their families to provide practical, personalised nutrition advice that fits into everyday life.

Families often come to us when a child’s nutrition needs change due to disability, complex health conditions, or new priorities in their care.

Every appointment is centred around you and your child — your life, your health, your goals, and your food.

OUR DIETITIAN CAN OFFER SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

Infant Feeding

Feeding your baby isn’t always easy. There is so much information and advice available, but which is the right approach for you and your bub?

Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, starting solids is a new world to navigate. Baby led weaning, vegetarian and vegan feeding; Let us help to support you in the early days to set your bub up for life long love of feeding and eating!

Growth

Scales aren’t always the best measure. We incorporate other measurements of your child’s growth and body composition to work towards optimising your child’s growth and health.

Intake

We have software and app ideas that can provide a detailed breakdown of your nutrient intake and identify and address any gaps. Meeting your child’s nutrient needs is the foundation of good health.

Behaviour change support & personalised strategies

Eating is a behaviour that is complicated by many aspects of your child’s life such as their hunger and fullness cycle, developmental stage, sensory preferences and associated picky eating. We have a range of strategies to help your child develop a healthy relationship with food and take the stress out of mealtimes.

Feeding plans

Detailed feeding plans are developed with you to incorporate easy to implement ideas, targeting key nutrients into your child’s current eating habits

Recipe Ideas

We can compile a collection of recipes that suit your child’s health goals and your lifestyle. We can work with daycare and schools to adapt food availability and support your child’s eating.

Support using specialised products

Sometimes littlies need more. Their medical background may mean they burn calories quicker, or require texture modified diets. The use of specialised nutrition products for a targeted goal can be useful. We can support you accessing these products at the most affordable pricing and help you navigate the inclusion of these within your NDIS funding.
