“I was exhausted from dinner time battles and cooking multiple meals. We have three children, including one with special needs. Working with my dietitian allowed me to completely change our family’s approach to how our kids eat, and we now enjoy peaceful dinners!”

Your child nutrition questions, answered.

How do you manage picky eaters?

For picky eaters, we have a specific, evidence-based, and gentle method that removes the stress of family meals and helps your child to thrive. Some children are more sensitive to taste, smell, and the variety of textures of foods. Working with a children’s nutritionist can give you and your family the tools you need to introduce new foods without causing kid eating anxiety. In addition to coaching you through our method, we can provide ongoing support and assessment, so that your toddler or child is best supported to establish healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime.
When it comes to truly picky kids, we have an expertise in coordinating with your child’s care team to support Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and PANDAS/PANS — infection-induced autoimmune conditions that can cause OCD and disrupted eating.

These conditions are real and can be incredibly disruptive to family meals as well as compromise the well-being of your child. They both involve an inability for your child to meet nutritional needs and can have serious health and social consequences.

Our approach is to optimize oral nutrition with a food-first approach, but to also utilize age-appropriate, quality nutritional supplements as necessary. Specialty nutritional testing can also be an essential part of these children’s support plans.

I’m worried about transitioning my child into solids. Can you help?

Our staff of certified toddler and children’s nutritionists also are experts at helping with early feeding, to include infant and baby-led weaning instruction and consultation, breastfeeding support, and toddler feeding. Those first steps of feeding a baby can feel like monumental tasks for parents. And who could blame them? There is so much conflicting information out there. Take the guesswork out of the best feeding practices for infants, babies and toddlers with easy-to-implement strategies with the guidance of one of our expert pediatric dietitians.

How do you address pediatric care differently?

Children are remarkable self-healers. It’s amazing what their bodies can do when they have the right support and nutrition. That’s why we take a food-first approach when helping your little one overcome health concerns or simply support healthy, strong development. With us, they’re supported by an expert pediatric dietitian to give them the most comprehensive foundation for a lifetime of good health.

Can you make child feeding less stressful?

With support and guidance from one of our pediatric nutrition experts , family meals can become more peaceful. You can worry less about the health status of your infant, toddler, or child as it relates to their nutrition. You’ll feel empowered in knowing that your child is becoming a competent eater. Also, you’ll know how to support them on their path to life-long nutrition.

Also, we don’t just give you a plan and send you out the door. We’ll make sure you’re supported throughout your journey.

Finally, our goal is to get you to where you don’t need us! In effect, we teach you how to follow our process on your own. That way, you can have ongoing, independent success with your family’s nutrition.
