What Does a Child Dietitian Manage?

A child dietitian manages a broad spectrum of nutritional needs for infants, children, and adolescents. They are experts in translating the complex requirements of a growing body into practical and accessible meal plans. Their scope of management includes assessing and tailoring diets for developmental milestones, managing food allergies or intolerances, addressing eating disorders, and supporting children with medical conditions requiring specialised diets, such as diabetes or Coeliac disease. They also provide invaluable guidance to establish healthy eating habits early on, aiming to prevent future health issues and instilling a positive relationship with food.

Our paediatric dietitian in Sydney treats a range of conditions, which include (but are not limited to):

Food allergies and intolerances
Nutritional deficiencies or excesses
Eating disorders and selective eating habits
Gastrointestinal disorders, such as IBS or Crohn's disease
Weight management concerns, including both underweight and overweight challenges
Specialised nutritional needs for conditions like autism
Diabetes and blood sugar management
Coeliac disease and similar conditions requiring dietary restrictions
General health and wellness nutrition to promote optimal growth and development

Is Your Child

A Fussy Eater?

Many young ones can be selective eaters, often showing a preference for or against foods based on shape, colour, taste, or texture. It’s not uncommon for a child to enjoy a particular food one day and reject it the next, or to be hesitant when trying new foods – and their portion sizes may vary greatly from one meal to the next. At Children’s Health Hub, we recognise the worries parents face with children who are selective in their eating habits and offer strategies to improve their appetite and dietary variety.

Our qualified Accredited Practising Dietitians are well-equipped with the expertise and individualised approaches necessary to offer you professional dietary guidance. Following a thorough nutritional evaluation and understanding of your specific concerns, we will assist you in addressing your child’s gastrointestinal issues with medical nutrition therapy.

What Happens in a Consultation With

A Paediatric Dietitian?

In a warm and welcoming environment, we endeavour to make you and your little one feel safe and respected.

We begin by recording your child’s weight and height to gauge their growth patterns. You’ll then be asked to provide details on what your child typically eats and drinks. To make this easier and ensure accuracy, it’s beneficial to come prepared with a three-day food diary, including one day from the weekend. This information will allow for a thorough analysis of your child’s nutritional intake.

Based on our findings, we will work with you to develop a tailored management plan aimed at optimising your child’s diet to support their health and development. Regular follow-ups are a critical part of this process, allowing us to monitor your child’s progress and adjust the plan as needed.
