Toddlers, children and teenagers

Toddlers, children and teenagers need to receive adequate nutrition too and are susceptible to health conditions just like adults. Areas where a Dietitian can help you optimise your child’s health or nutrition intake include:

  • Fussy eating – tips and strategies to ensure optimal health and improve eating behaviours
  • Dietary investigation for suspected allergies or intolerances
  • Ensuring optimal nutrition intake for children with diagnosed allergies or intolerances to prevent nutrient deficiencies e.g. lactose intolerance, coeliac disease, food chemical intolerances
  • Healthy eating for active or sporty kids and teenagers
  • Weight management for overweight children and teenagers
  • Disordered eating behaviours

Children should be accompanied by at least one parent during dietary consultations and individual dietary consultations for child/teenager alone and/or parent alone may also be suggested.
