Preparing for Your Appointment: What to Bring

Taking the first step toward supporting your child’s nutrition and feeding journey is a wonderful milestone. To help us make the most of our first session together it is helpful if you can gather a few pieces of information beforehand.

Please don't stress if you can’t find everything - we will always work with what you have!

 Your Pre-Appointment Checklist

  • Previous Medical Reports & Letters: If your child sees other specialists (such as a paediatrician, speech pathologist, occupational therapist, gastroenterologist, or allergist), please bring along copies of their latest reports or diagnostic letters. This helps us see the whole picture of your child's care team.

  • Recent Blood Test Results: If your child has had any blood tests or pathology done within the last 6 to 12 months (e.g., iron levels, coeliac screens, or general health checks), please bring a copy or have your GP forward them to us.

  • A "Typical Day" Food Diary: Jot down a simple snapshot of what your child eats and drinks over a normal 24-hour period.

    • Note: This is a completely judgment-free zone. Please don't try to record a "perfect" day! It is far more helpful for us to see an honest reflection of a standard day, including preferred foods, brand names (if they are highly specific), portion sizes, and roughly what times they eat.

  • Current Medications & Supplements: Bring a list (or just take a quick photo on your phone) of any vitamins, mineral supplements, specialized formulas, or medications your child takes regularly.

  • Your Child’s Blue Book / Health Record: (Or your state's equivalent child health booklet). This is especially helpful for infants and toddlers so we can look at their historical growth trajectories and milestones.

A Quick Note for Parents

Feeding sessions are designed to be safe, supportive, and low-pressure for both you and your child. If you are attending an initial parent-only session or a feeding therapy session, remember that there are no "wrong" answers. We are here to meet your family exactly where you are today.

If you have any questions about gathering these documents before your visit, please feel free to Contact Us ahead of time.
