Home/What we help with/Paediatric + fussy eating
Fussy eating, food aversion and worries about growth are some of the most common reasons parents call us. Our paediatric dietitians give you a plan that works at your table, not just on paper.
Children go through phases, and some need more support than a phase passes on its own. We look at what your child eats, how they feel about food and how mealtimes run, then build small, realistic steps you can start this week.

Tell us what you are after and our team will call to see how we can help. If it is a fit, we match you with one of our dietitians.
An hour with your dietitian to go through your health, your habits and what you're actually after.
Simple changes that fit your life, not a meal plan you'll give up on by Wednesday.
We stick with you and adjust as you go, so the changes actually last.
We build on foods your child already accepts, so there is no overnight overhaul of the menu.
The aim is a child who eats well and a family who dreads dinner less.
Small steps you can try at the next meal, not a long list of rules.
No pressure on your child and no blame on you.
Every plan fits your child’s age, preferences and routine.
Friendly guidance whenever you need it.
Every one is an Accredited Practising Dietitian, each with their own areas of interest, from paediatric feeding to bariatric surgery support.

ToniFrom our first session, Jakarta took the time to understand my health, lifestyle, and goals rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. What has impressed me most is her ability to make it all practical and achievable. I’m eating healthy now and actually enjoying it!
