Introducing solids is an exciting and important step in your baby’s development—but for many parents, it can also come with a lot of questions and uncertainty.
When should I start? How much food does my baby need? Should I try baby-led weaning or purees? What if my baby has a reaction? Am I doing it right?
If these questions sound familiar, you’re not alone. Starting solids isn’t one-size-fits-all, and with so much (often conflicting) information out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
With years of experience supporting families through this transition, Di offers individualised, evidence-based guidance to help you feel confident and informed. We’ll talk through your baby’s developmental readiness, feeding approaches that align with your values and lifestyle, and how to safely introduce common allergens. You'll also get practical tips on portion sizes, food textures, meal timings, and how to foster a positive relationship with food from the very start.
This service is ideal for parents of babies aged 5 to 12 months—whether you’re just starting to think about solids or already underway and looking for support.

Managing eczema in babies and young children can be incredibly stressful—especially when you’re trying to figure it out on your own. As a parent, it's tough to see your child uncomfortable or in distress, and even tougher when you’re unsure what’s triggering their symptoms or how best to help.
While eczema is a complex condition with many contributing factors, nutrition can play a powerful role in managing symptoms—when it’s approached with care, clarity, and the right guidance.
Through one-on-one consultations, I provide gentle, evidence-based nutrition support tailored to your child’s needs and your family’s situation. We’ll explore possible food-related triggers (if relevant) and/or environmental triggers, look at your child’s current diet to ensure it’s supporting skin health, and make practical changes that are safe, sustainable, and realistic for your lifestyle.
Together, we will work on a specific gut support protocol aimed to support and ease their symptoms.
This service is suitable for families with children of any age dealing with eczema, whether newly diagnosed or struggling to manage ongoing flare-ups.

Digestive issues like constipation can be incredibly distressing— young children and the parents trying to help them feel better. If you're feeling frustrated, helpless, or just unsure what to do next, you're certainly not alone.
You might be asking:
Why is my child always constipated? Are they eating the right foods? Could it be a sensitivity or intolerance? Should I be giving them laxatives—or are there gentler options? Will they just grow out of it?
Constipation is one of the most common gut health concerns in babies and children, yet it’s often brushed off or treated with a quick fix that doesn’t get to the root of the issue. Over time, it can affect a child’s mood, appetite, sleep, and even their confidence around food and toileting.
I offer compassionate, evidence-based support that looks beyond the surface to understand what’s really going on with your child’s gut health. Together, we’ll explore possible causes—from dietary factors and fluid intake to feeding patterns, gut motility, and microbiome health—and make manageable changes that support regular, comfortable bowel movements.
My approach is practical, gentle, and tailored to your child’s age and developmental needs. You won’t be given generic advice or one-size-fits-all plans—just clear, personalised guidance.
Whether your child is a toddler who’s withholding, a baby struggling with infrequent bowel movements, or an older child experiencing ongoing discomfort, I’m here to help.

If your child always seems to be coming down with something—frequent colds, sniffles that linger, or endless cycles of bugs—it’s easy to feel worn out and worried. You might be wondering:
Is there something more I should be doing to support their immune system? Are they getting the right nutrients? Could their gut health be playing a role?
Children's immune systems are still developing, and while it’s normal for them to catch a few bugs, ongoing illness or slow recovery can leave parents feeling unsure and in need of extra guidance.
This Mini Immune Consult is designed to give you clear, evidence-based support in a short, focused session. We’ll look at your child’s nutrition, lifestyle, gut health, and any patterns you’ve noticed, then identify small, practical changes that can make a real difference—without restrictive diets, expensive supplements, or overwhelm.
Whether you're preparing for daycare, navigating a rough season of illness and rounds of antibiotics or just want to feel more confident about supporting your child’s health from the inside out, this consult is a great starting point.
