Support that fits around your child’s actual day
Children eat across many different settings, not just at the dinner table. Breakfast before school, childcare meals, lunchboxes, after-school snacks and family dinners can all affect how much they eat and how stressful feeding feels.
We look at the patterns across the whole day and help you decide where changes are likely to be useful, rather than giving you a long list of things to overhaul.
What we look at during paediatric nutrition support
A paediatric dietitian appointment is not just about checking whether your child eats enough fruit and vegetables. We consider the factors that are most relevant to their nutrition and feeding.
Growth & appetite
We consider available growth information alongside appetite, intake, meal patterns and whether your child seems to be meeting their energy needs.
Food variety & nutrients
We review the foods your child currently eats and identify areas such as iron, calcium, protein, fibre or energy that may need more attention.
Feeding & routines
We look at mealtime patterns, food preferences, sensory factors, family routines and what is happening when feeding becomes difficult.
Building nutrition without chasing a perfect diet
Many parents worry because their child’s diet looks different from what they expected. A useful starting point is understanding what the current diet provides, rather than focusing only on foods that are missing.
From there, your dietitian can help you strengthen nutrition around foods your child already accepts and gradually address gaps where needed.
When food becomes a source of stress
Some children find new foods, unfamiliar textures or changes to their usual meals genuinely difficult. Repeated pressure can make the situation harder for everyone.
We help families understand what may be driving the feeding difficulty and work towards realistic goals that protect nutrition while reducing conflict around food.

Paediatric Dietitian Adelaide & SA FAQs
Do you offer in-person paediatric dietitian appointments in Adelaide?
Our Adelaide and South Australia paediatric dietitian service is provided online. Our physical clinic locations are in Queensland, while telehealth allows families in SA to access our paediatric dietitian team from home.
What can I prepare before the appointment?
It can be useful to have information about your child’s usual foods, meal and snack patterns, relevant growth information, supplements, symptoms and any medical or feeding history you think may be important. You do not need to have everything perfectly documented before booking.
Can you help with a child who has a very small food range?
Yes. We can review whether the current food range is meeting your child’s nutrition needs, identify priorities and discuss practical strategies for selective or fussy eating.
Can a dietitian help if my child is often constipated?
Yes. Nutrition can be one part of constipation management. Your dietitian can review fluid, fibre, food patterns and overall intake while considering the foods your child is realistically able to eat.
Do you support children with allergies or food intolerances?
Yes. We can help families plan around excluded foods and consider suitable alternatives so nutrition remains as balanced as possible.
Can parents attend the appointment without their child?
Depending on your child’s age and needs, a parent or carer may complete some or all of the appointment. We can structure the session in a way that is comfortable and useful for your family.
Do you see families outside Adelaide?
Yes. Online paediatric dietitian appointments are available throughout South Australia, including regional and rural areas.
