Reclaim the joy of family mealtimes! Next to breathing, feeding is the first and most important thing we have to do in life, connected to almost every other aspect of a child’s life and development, occuring multiple times a day, everyday. No human behaviour has greater biological and social significance. We're available internationally for symptoms of paediatric feeding disorders (PFD), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), baby bottle or feeding tube dependence (tube weaning), food selectivity ('picky'/'fussy' eaters), mealtime behaviour, skills (utensils, cup drinking, chewing), medication refusal, and pica.
We provide in-home, efficient, tailored, intensive services and remote consultation using well-established empirically-supported treatments backed by 50 years of evidence. www.paediatricfeedingintl.com/services/ This process previously was exclusive to a few locations in the United States. www.paediatricfeedingintl.com/about-us/
Dr. Taylor now travels in order to bring the most advanced techniques across the world. We are dedicated to delivering quality services and supporting families through their journey. With our guidance and expertise, families can feel assured that their child receives the best care. www.paediatricfeedingintl.com/success-stories/

Intervention is direct with and tailored to your child, with lots of successful gradual practice, skill teaching, and encouragement. Services may need to be intensive/multiple meals a day, but can work quickly, and are short-term with big achievements (green veg, cup drinking) and rippling positive changes. Caregivers receive lots of direct support to learn how to keep up the gains by themselves.
