At Brisbane Paediatric Nutrition we provide expert nutrition advice that supports the healthy growth and development of infants, children and adolescents. We are passionate about promoting healthy relationships with food, supporting positive body image and "diet free" interventions for kids.

Our team are highly experienced paediatric dietitian's and also mothers. We understand the constant juggle and everyday frustrations of feeding fussy eaters and also the complexity in caring for children with increased needs. We love working one on one with families and watching them find success with our interventions. Our decade of clinical experience, coupled with our parenting experience, has enabled us to develop an immense amount of respect and appreciation for our primary carers and parents looking after children with increased needs. You are the "champions" in your child's support team and we are here to support you with their dietary needs, regardless of complexity.

Our team has an extensive network of paediatric colleagues in the Queensland Health system and this enables us to work cohesively with your inpatient hospital teams, providing handovers and input as needed.

Testimonials

Amy has been a great support for our family. She is always available and really helpful. We would happily recommend her to other families with kids that have long term nutrition needs

Other dietitians just kept telling us what we needed to feed our son and we felt like we already knew this. Amy was great and gave us advice on HOW to get our son to eat what we were offering.

We have seen so many clinicians and this is the first time we feel like our nutrition concerns have actually felt heard.

Amy is great. She is helpful and very informative. She definitely helped with our youngest daughters eating. She gave us practical strategies and took the time to explain things. We would highly recommend her.

We would highly recommend Amy to other families. She was really helpful with our sons eating and we found the home visit really useful. She was really great. She took the time to explain things and would email through summaries after each appointment. Thank you!
