End the power struggles, the worry and pressure around food.Whether you are dealing with picky eating, worries about weight, concerned that your child eats too much or too little, or anxious about starting solids, we can help. From infancy on, the Feeding Doctor helps find solutions that work for your family.
Are you worried about your picky eater, your child who can’t seem to stop eating or hardly seems to eat at all? With “childhood obesity,” low weight, sensory issues and nutrition concerns, almost every parent wonders if they are feeding their child in the best way possible. The Feeding Doctor can help end the power struggles, the worry and pressure around food.
End the worry over nutrition, weight, picky eating and more and bring peace and joy to the feeding relationship. We can help you understand and support your child, who may have challenges from not having had enough food, being fed too quickly or with little attention, or limited in texture, nutrients and variety. We pay special attention to building trust with your child and how feeding can assist with attachment, rather than be a source of conflict.

New pediasure for “picky eaters.” Here it is, “Abbott is introducing a new option for picky eaters’ routine with PediaSure SideKicks Clear(1), a refreshing clear nutritional beverage that helps balance out the diet of those picky eaters who are growing fine, but still may be missing nutrients.

“Help! My son won’t eat lunch at school!”
05-15-2012
“My son is just about to finish kindergarten and he’s struggled to eat lunch at school the whole year – he gets distracted easily, plays with his food, etc. We’ve spent the whole year trying to let it be and relax about it, knowing that at first it was a new (distracting) environment, etc. So far as I’m aware, his teacher doesn’t pressure them to eat. His daycare provider picks him up after school and, if he’s hungry then, we’ve … Continue reading
eating away from home: a great place to try new foods, even for picky eaters
05-10-2012
I was recently interviewed for a fun story on Today msnbc.com travel section about traveling with kids and trying new foods. I laughed when one story told of the sushi restaurant and the little conveyor belts. We went twice to one of these restaurants on a recent trip to Seattle, and all loved the little conveyors, and the colorful plates. M tried a few new things, some she liked, some she didn’t, but like with a salad bar or buffet, … Continue reading
“You’re an important part of this family too”: a message for picky and “under” eaters

We spent the weekend at an indoor water-park. My calves are still sore from climbing all those stairs up to the water-slide, and I only went about ten times. No idea how my kid went at least 75 times, and is just fine… Anyway, after a few days of eating out, I was feeling pretty blah, and just not hungry for breakfast yesterday. We eat almost every dinner, and most breakfasts together. I made some scrambled eggs for DH and … Continue reading
breakfast in bed for “kid’s day,” and how you can’t separate emotions and eating
05-02-2012
Last week, I was dropping not so subtle hints that I wanted breakfast in bed for Mother’s Day, with a fresh bagel and cream cheese… My daughter, 6 1/2 years old, was upset at the unfairness, that though there is a Mother’s and a Father’s day, there is no “Kid’s Day!” I bit my lip on my reply, which would have been, “Every day is Kid’s Day! What have you done for me lately, can’t I have one day!” Looking … Continue reading
