About the Practice
When a child's feeding issue is becoming a health issue, families need dietetic advice that can link with hospital care. Newcastle Hospitals Nutrition and Dietetics supports Newcastle upon Tyne families with feeding, nutrition and dietetic questions where meals, growth, allergy, sensory eating or tube feeding have become stressful. The focus is practical clinical guidance that protects the child’s health without turning food into a daily fight.

Why Work With Us?
Newcastle Dietetics Route: Parents can see the professional route, dietetic or feeding scope and safeguarding questions before trusting someone with their child’s nutrition.
Nutrition Support and Growth Monitoring: Support looks at intake, growth, symptoms, safe foods, feeding history and family routines so the plan fits real life, not an idealised food chart.
Parent and Professional Connection: The pathway can help parents understand what needs monitoring, what needs treatment and what can change safely at home.
