Eastern Health provides a combined Dietetic and Speech Pathology feeding clinic for infants and young children. An Occupational Therapist may also be involved if required. The team works with children and their families who are experiencing difficulties with feeding or mealtimes. Therapy is provided to infants and preschool aged children individually or in small groups. Appointments are conducted either face-to-face or using telehealth.
We help babies and children up to 6 years of age with:
- Fussy eating and food refusal
- Growth concerns
- Difficulty with food of different textures
- Difficulty chewing and swallowing
This service is not suitable for children where there are complex or multiple areas of concern, or for children with acute/urgent feeding concerns.
