Gentle, expert support for your baby’s feeding journey.

From breastfeeding and formula questions to growth concerns and early solids, we’re here to guide you with calm, evidence-based care.

Clarity, care, and confidence for your baby’s feeding journey.

Feeding your baby is one of the most important — and sometimes one of the most stressful — parts of early parenthood. Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or introducing solids, it’s normal to feel unsure or anxious about whether your baby is getting enough, growing well, or feeding comfortably. At Cubs Paediatric Dietetics, we’re here to help you navigate those questions with clear, evidence-based guidance that’s calm, compassionate, and tailored to your baby’s needs.

We support families through a wide range of feeding challenges, including unsettled behaviour, reflux, slow weight gain, allergies, or transitions after NICU care. No concern is too early or too small to bring up — if you’re worried, we’re here to listen.

How We Help

Every baby’s feeding story is unique. We take the time to understand your baby’s full history including birth experience, feeding routine, growth trajectory, and temperament so we can provide recommendations that make sense for your family and your lifestyle.

Our approach is gentle, baby-led, and always informed by the latest evidence. We also collaborate closely with paediatricians, lactation consultants, and allied health professionals to ensure your baby’s care is cohesive and comprehensive.
