Fussy eating and feeding support
Fussy eating is one of the most common reasons families see a paediatric dietitian. We help you understand what may be contributing and build a practical plan that reduces pressure and supports progress over time.
You might need support if
Your child eats a very limited range of foods, mealtimes feel stressful, you are making separate meals, school food is difficult, or growth and nutrition are becoming a concern.
What feeding support may include
- Nutrient review and practical food strategies.
- Mealtime support to reduce pressure and conflict.
- Stepwise support to build confidence with food variety.
- Shared care with GPs, paediatricians, OT or speech pathology when helpful.

Kids Dietitian and Paediatric Dietitian FAQs
What does a paediatric dietitian help with?
A paediatric dietitian helps with feeding concerns, fussy eating, growth, poor appetite, gut symptoms, allergies, intolerances, nutrient adequacy and practical family nutrition support for babies, children and teenagers.
When should I take my child to a kids dietitian?
It can help to seek support if your child has a very limited food range, poor growth, ongoing gut symptoms, stressful mealtimes, suspected nutrient gaps, allergies or feeding challenges that are affecting day-to-day life.
Do I need a referral?
No, you generally do not need a referral. Many families book directly. If your child is also seeing a GP, paediatrician or other allied health professional, we can work alongside them as part of your child’s care team.
Do you help with fussy eating?
Yes. Fussy eating is one of the most common reasons families see us. We assess what may be contributing, review nutrition intake and create a practical plan to reduce mealtime stress and support greater food variety over time.
Do you work with neurodivergent children or sensory feeding challenges?
Yes. We work with neurodivergent children and can adapt our approach for sensory sensitivities, rigid food preferences and feeding challenges. Where helpful, we also coordinate care with occupational therapy, speech pathology and your child’s wider health team.
Do you have specialised training in paediatric feeding?
Yes. Our dietitians have specialised training in paediatric feeding and problem eating, including the AEIOU approach, SOS Approach to Feeding and Responsive Feeding Therapy. Care is matched to your child’s individual needs and family goals.
Can you help with allergies, gut issues or poor growth?
Yes. We support children with a range of nutrition concerns, including allergies, intolerances, constipation, tummy pain, poor appetite, poor growth and general nutrition challenges.
Where can we see you? Do you offer telehealth?
We see families across the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane in clinic. If you prefer home-based care or live elsewhere, we offer secure video consultations so you can access our dietitians anywhere in Australia.
