Feeding Therapy 

Having a child who won't eat can be incredibly stressful and frightening. Too often, families hear, "They'll eat when they're hungry", "eating is easy and instinctive", or even that their child's problems are behavioural and due to parenting.

At Nourish and Grow, we understand that this is not true.

​

Feeding is a learned skill, and for some children, it is not easy. We use food as our tool and work closely with you and your child to assess their nutritional intake , adequacy, and growth. We provide guidance on appropriate food swaps or supplements and we evaluate their feeding skills and sensory sensitivities, using the SOS approach.  

​

At Nourish and Grow, we are here to support you with compassion and expertise. You are not alone on this journey—we are dedicated to helping you and your child overcome these challenges and thrive.

Growth and development

We provide comprehensive nutritional assessments to evaluate your child's growth history and nutritional status. 

Nutrtional adequacy 

Nutritional therapy can help avoid nutritional deficiencies in children with feeding difficulties by providing tailored dietary advice that ensures they receive the essential nutrients they need for growth and development.

Feeding

Feeding skills play a crucial role in a child's eating behaviour and can lead to difficulties such as choking, gagging, or refusing certain textures. Addressing these skills through targeted nutritional therapy helps improve a child's ability to eat a variety of foods.
