Helping Your Child Build Healthy and Confident Eating Habits
We’re dedicated to helping children overcome nutritional challenges and reach their full potential. Our paediatric dietitians specialise in working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, tailoring care to meet the unique needs of each child.
We provide expert support for a wide range of conditions, including:
Gastrointestinal Health
Gastrointestinal issues like coeliac disease, IBS, or reflux can cause discomfort and impact your child’s nutrition. Our paediatric dietitians provide tailored dietary plans to ease symptoms, support healthy digestion, and improve overall well-being. Together with our team, we address your child’s needs holistically for lasting results.
Diabetes and Metabolic Conditions
For children managing diabetes or metabolic conditions, balanced nutrition is essential. Our dietitians provide guidance on carbohydrate counting, meal planning, and healthy eating habits to support stable blood sugar levels and overall health. We work closely with families to build confidence in managing these conditions.
Weight Management Support
Whether addressing underweight or overweight concerns, we help children and families achieve healthy weight outcomes. Our dietitians provide practical strategies tailored to your child’s lifestyle, promoting positive eating habits and long-term health improvements in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Growth Challenges
Children with faltering growth or failure to thrive often need specialised nutrition support. Our team identifies underlying issues and develops personalised plans to close nutritional gaps, promoting healthy weight gain and development. We work with families to monitor progress and achieve long-term improvements.
Addressing Eating Challenges
Eating challenges, such as sensory-based food aversions or restrictive eating habits, can significantly impact your child’s nutrition. Our dietitians work collaboratively with families and our multidisciplinary team to develop practical, evidence-based strategies that build healthier, more sustainable eating behaviours in a compassionate and supportive way.
Food Allergies and Intolerances
Managing food allergies or intolerances can feel overwhelming for families. Our dietitians create safe, balanced meal plans that eliminate allergens while ensuring your child gets the nutrients they need to grow and thrive. We also provide education to help you confidently manage these dietary challenges at home.
With a compassionate, family-centred approach, our dietitians won’t just address your child’s symptoms—they’ll work to identify root causes and provide practical solutions that empower both children and their families.
