Dietetics

What is Dietetics?

Dietetics uses science of nutrition for your child's improved health and wellbeing. We support children 0-6 years in all areas of dietetics and feeding.

How can we help?

Our Dietitians at Dot to Dot support families to make mealtimes a pleasant family experience while also aiding nutrition. Sessions can be provided in the home or at our clinic in Geelong.

Some of these areas are:

Supporting your child's growth and weight management
Finding a nutritional diet for children with difficulties with chewing and / or swallowing
Fussy eating, or resistant/picky eating or food aversion

Does your child refuse food?

Is your child undernourished due to feeding difficulty?

Does your child have difficulty swallowing and chewing?

Mealtime can be difficult for many children and families, so we are here to provide assistance to move away from those tricky dinners or frustrating lunches.

Our Dietitians support families in developing positive relationships with food, which has been shown to impact mood, growth, development and overall health and wellbeing.

We provide services in the clinic (Belmont, Geelong), and in your home or learning environment (within Greater Geelong).

We aid in:

Mealtime behaviour management
Fussy eating
Food allergies/intolerances
Feeding
Chewing and swallowing difficulties with our Speech Pathologists
Introduction to solids
Faltering growth
Weight management
and more!

Our dietitians may also perform assessments, or can provide dietary education and counselling.
