Fussy Feeding & Picky Eaters

Fussy feeding and picky eating are common issues that parents and caregivers may face when feeding young children.

These issues can be frustrating and challenging, and they can impact a child’s overall nutrition and development.

Speech Pathologists can help to address fussy feeding and picky eating by identifying the underlying causes of these behaviours and developing strategies to improve a child’s eating habits.

During an assessment, a Speech Pathologist will evaluate a child’s oral-motor skills, feeding habits, and sensory preferences. They may also consider any underlying medical conditions or developmental delays that may be contributing to the child’s feeding difficulties.

Our Speech Pathologists are highly experienced in addressing fussy feeding and picky eating in young children.

Based on the assessment, the Speech Pathologist may recommend specific feeding strategies to help encourage a child to try new foods and develop more positive eating habits. For example, they may recommend gradually introducing new foods in small amounts, using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage the child to try new foods, or incorporating sensory play activities into mealtime to help the child become more comfortable with different textures and flavours.

Speech Pathologists may also work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, such as paediatricians or dietitians, to address any underlying medical or nutritional concerns that may be contributing to the child’s feeding difficulties.
