Talk to our dietitians to see if they can help before stress of mealtimes gets worse.
Bad behaviour and stress around meal times can be caused by anything and identifying the main cause can be difficult. Your baby or child may have had one bad experience of feeding or eating, for example if they were poorly and they now associate food with pain and stress. Your baby or child may be a fussy or picky eating and therefore feeding has always been a challenge so they associate feeding and mealtimes with negative situations. Our team of dietitians and occupational therapists can assess and diagnose any feeding difficulties you may be having and give an individualised treatment plan to overcome the stress of mealtimes. To speak to our team and see if we can help please contact us.
Our multidisciplinary team will assess all aspects of your baby or child’s feeding behaviours to find the causes of their stress relating to mealtimes and make an individualised treatment plan according to their needs. Our paediatric dietitian will assess your baby or child’s nutritional intake to ensure they are getting the nutrients and energy they need to grow and develop to their full potential. To book an assessment please contact us.
We will assess, diagnose and treat your child according to the outcome of our assessment. Our dietitians will treat any nutritional deficiencies or weight management problems your baby or child may have through a bespoke plan to ensure they are getting the energy, vitamins and minerals they need. Our occupational therapists will treat your baby or child’s attention, behaviour and reactions to mealtimes by watching their behaviour to help relieve these.
