Private Paediatric Dietitians
We are a private dietetic service exclusively for children and can provide support with a range of nutritional issues. Our practice is evidence-based, empathetic and supportive.
At Beam Dietitians, our private paediatric service provides practical and personalised support to help you feel confident about feeding your baby or child. We can help with a wide range of concerns, including slow or rapid weight gain, food allergies and intolerances, reflux, constipation, and fussy eating. We also offer guidance on milk feeding, whether breast, formula, or mixed, as well as advice on specialist formulas when required. As your baby grows, we provide step-by-step support with weaning — from knowing when to start solids, to introducing new textures and flavours, and building a balanced diet that supports healthy growth and development.
A private paediatrician dietitian recognises that every family is different, which is why we offer tailored advice for specific needs such as vegetarian or vegan diets, ensuring your child receives all the essential nutrients for optimal growth and wellbeing. We also provide practical tools like easy-to-follow recipes, meal ideas, and snack suggestions, making it simpler to plan nutritious and enjoyable meals at home. By working closely with you, we create evidence-based plans that not only meet your child’s nutritional needs but also help make mealtimes a more positive and stress-free experience, giving you reassurance and confidence every step of the way.

A paediatric dietitian is a healthcare professional specialising in nutrition for infants, children, and adolescents. They assess growth, feeding habits, allergies, and medical needs, then design nutrition plans tailored to each child’s development goals. At Beam Dietitians, our paediatric dietitians bring evidence-based, practical guidance and compassionate support to families—whether for weaning, managing intolerances, or supporting healthy growth.
-
Yes, dietitians can and do work in private practice in addition to roles in healthcare systems. Private practice allows them to offer flexible appointments, more time per client, and personalised care. At Beam Dietitians, we offer private consultations (in-person or virtual) so that families can access specialist paediatric nutrition support more conveniently and directly, without needing a referral.
-
A private dietitian evaluates a child’s nutritional status, feeding history, medical background, and family diet. They then develop a tailored plan to address any concerns—growth issues, food intolerances, weaning, or feeding behaviours. At Beam Dietitians, our private service also includes ongoing support, review sessions, and adjustments to the plan, all delivered in a way that fits your family’s lifestyle and goals.
-
Yes—especially when your child has nutritional or feeding challenges. Private paediatric dietitians deliver value by offering expert, evidence-based solutions, addressing gaps that might otherwise go unrecognised. With the right guidance, families often save time, reduce stress, and improve their child’s health outcomes. At Beam Dietitians, we believe that investing in a qualified paediatric dietitian brings long-term benefits in your child’s growth, health, and food confidence.
