Specialist nutrition support for babies born early.
We help families of preterm infants navigate feeding, growth, and development with confidence and care.
Supporting your preterm baby’s feeding and growth journey.
Preterm babies often have unique nutritional needs. From catching up on growth to transitioning from NICU feeding plans, it’s natural for families to feel uncertain about how best to support them. At Cubs Paediatric Dietetics, we provide expert guidance to make feeding clearer and more reassuring during these early stages.
Combining neonatal expertise with a calm, family-centred approach, we translate NICU feeding recommendations into practical home strategies, monitor growth and nutrient needs closely, and support parents with clear, step-by-step feeding guidance. We also work collaboratively with paediatricians and allied health teams to ensure every aspect of your baby’s care is connected and consistent.
Common concerns we can help with:
- Slow or faltering growth after NICU or SCN discharge
- Transitioning from tube to oral feeding
- Establishing breastfeeding or bottle feeding
- Managing reflux, colic, or unsettled behaviour
- Supporting nutrient needs for brain and bone development
- Introducing solids for preterm babies
