What are paediatric nutrition services?
We understand how challenging it is to feed your child if they are experiencing difficulties with eating as well as manage their food intake due to fussy eating, sensory impacts and faltering growth.
Our experienced paediatrics dietitians assess your child’s nutritional needs and optimise their food intake to support healthy growth.
It is paramount to our care that we provide a nurturing safe space for you and your child to help promote a positive relationship with food from a young age.
If you want reliable nutritional advice for your child, there is an experienced and compassionate dietitian at Nutrition Health & Wellbeing who is ready to support you.
Who needs paediatric nutrition services?
Education about nutrition and food is an integral part of lifelong development. However, we understand eating and nutrition can have its challenges for families.
We aim to support you as a family to overcome these barriers and help parents feel at ease while building a positive relationship with food for the whole family – as it’s especially important to develop good habits and attitudes from a young age.
