Are mealtimes becoming a constant struggle with your child's picky eating habits? Do you find yourself worried about their nutrition and growth? At our Dietitian Early Eaters Clinic, we understand the challenges that parents and caregivers face when dealing with fussy behaviours around mealtimes. Our expert dietitians are here to guide you through the journey of transforming mealtimes into positive and nourishing experiences using the responsive feeding approach.

Our team of experienced and compassionate dietitians are dedicated to helping to foster a healthy relationship between children and food. We firmly believe that mealtimes should be enjoyable for both parents and children, free from stress and frustration.

Our Approach: Responsive Feeding

Our clinic is built upon the foundation of the responsive feeding approach, which emphasises tuning into a child's cues and preferences while encouraging a balanced and nutritious diet. We recognise that each child is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Our approach is tailored to suit your child's individual needs, creating a nurturing environment that fosters a positive attitude towards food.

 Together, we can guide your child towards a healthier relationship with food and stress-free mealtimes, fostering lifelong eating habits that promote well-being.

Our services & approach:

• Our Dietitian led program Early Eaters: Parenting Approach is an early intervention approach, suitable for parents of children aged 2 years+.

• In this program, parents/carers will be provided with education, skills and techniques to help address fussy eating behaviours and build positive family mealtimes. The child is generally not directly involved in the sessions.

• Personalised consultations with parents/carers, to develop a tailored plan to promote positive behaviour change.

• A 3-5 session package, with an option of continuing support and monitor progress ongoing if desired.

• Comprehensive nutritional assessment, to evaluate your child’s dietary intake, developmental growth and overall health.

• Nutritional education and guidance.

• Skill building to promote a gentle introduction to new foods, in a non-coercive and gradual process.

• Strategies to create a positive and calm environment for mealtimes, reducing mealtime stress.

• Fostering age-appropriate independence and healthy eating habits.

Note - parents/carers can book into our Early Eaters program by calling our friendly admin team. As this is a parenting program, a referral or medical assessment is not required.
