Pediatric Feeding and Nutrition Specialist Consultation

This consultation supports parents and caregivers when feeding becomes challenging or stressful, including situations where a child:

• limits their food choices;
• eats very small portions or needs distraction during meals;
• has difficulty establishing a regular eating routine;
• experiences anxiety or conflict around mealtimes.

How the consultation works:

• Before the visit, we send you a questionnaire and a feeding diary to complete. This helps the specialist understand your concerns and your child’s eating patterns.
• If needed, we may ask parents to record a short video of the feeding process. You will receive clear instructions on how to prepare it so the specialist can better assess the situation.
• During the consultation, the doctor carefully listens to your questions and reviews information from the questionnaire, diary, and video. The specialist provides simple, practical guidance on organizing meals, building healthy eating habits, gradually expanding food variety, and reducing stress for both the child and parents.
• If necessary, the doctor may recommend additional assessments or refer you to other specialists.
• After the consultation, you will receive materials and recommendations to use at home.
