Expert Paediatric Dietitians in Birmingham

Home > Private Paediatrician > Expert Paediatric Dietitians in Birmingham

When your child or teenager is sick, there can be no compromise on your care quality.

If you need help getting your child’s diet right, our team of paediatric dietitians in Birmingham can provide complete, reliable children’s and adolescents’ nutrition services, including assessment, diagnosis and treatment of nutritional problems in babies and children. Our experts are here to offer practical, scientific solutions to the problems you might be facing if you have a fussy eater at home or if you are worried about your child's growth, diet or eating habits.

From dealing with growth concerns and digestive issues to offering nutritional support and switching to a plant-based diet, we regularly support parents in ensuring their children’s nutritional needs are met. We believe in providing quick access to excellent medical care to all families, so we can schedule an appointment with an expert in a private setting on short notice, without the need for long waiting lists or referrals.

How Our Children's Nutrition Team Can Help

Our paediatric dietitians provide personalised, easy-to-follow advice on a wide range of nutritional problems, such as:

  • Growth Concerns: If your child is overweight, underweight or struggling with obesity, as well as when you have concerns about faltering growth 
  • Paediatric Allergy: Includes diagnosis and management of food allergies and intolerances in children and babies, commonly to milk, eggs, fish, nuts, wheat and soy
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Assessing what supplements your child might benefit from in their diet to ensure it meets their nutritional needs (e.g. iron-deficiency anaemia) 
  • Nutritional Difficulties: In infants and children suffering from medical and developmental conditions
  • Meat and Dairy-Free Diets: Advice on ensuring a vegan or vegetarian diet offers your child the nutritional value they require to grow and develop well 
  • Complementary feeding (weaning) advice 
  • Digestive Problems: Including persistent reflux, diarrhoea and constipation

We can also offer behavioural advice and support to ensure that your fussy eaters are eating better during family mealtimes.

Your First Appointment

When you first come to our private clinic in Birmingham, you and your child will be seen by our children’s nutrition expert for an initial consultation. Depending on your child’s individual needs and complaints, our paediatric dietitians may take steps to assess various information about their diet, including your child’s:

  • Growth history and development
  • Nutritional intake and whether it’s adequate for them
  • Feeding history and/or mealtimes habits (you may be asked to record a video of your little one at mealtime for a better understanding of their feeding behaviours)
  • Additional diagnostic tests (blood tests, allergy tests) if needed 

Your first appointment may take up to one hour. In that time, our diet experts will have the chance to get a good feel of your child’s diet and any potential feeding issues, so they can explain the next steps and provide excellent treatment. We’ll also send you a letter summarising what happened during your appointment, so you can keep track of your child’s nutritional treatment and progress.

Support for Your Teenager

As a parent, it’s natural to be concerned about your teenager’s health, especially when it comes to nutrition, growth, and their relationship with food. We’re here to partner with you in supporting your teen during this important stage of development.

Our dietitians can help if your teenager is:

  • Skipping meals or showing changes in appetite
  • Expressing concerns about weight or body image
  • Becoming overly focused on “clean eating” or restrictive diets
  • Experiencing mood swings, fatigue, or poor concentration
  • Dealing with medical conditions that affect their diet (like IBS, coeliac disease, PCOS, etc.)
  • Struggling to balance nutrition with a busy academic, social, or sports schedule

What to Expect as a Parent

We take a collaborative, compassionate approach. Our dietitians:

  • Work with both teens and parents (as appropriate) to set realistic goals
  • Offer evidence-based advice in a sensitive, age-appropriate way
  • Focus on long-term healthy habits, not calorie counting or dieting
  • Create a safe, confidential space where teens feel heard and respected

We’ll keep you informed and involved while respecting your teenager’s autonomy and comfort level, helping to build trust, confidence, and healthy habits for life.

A Safe Space for Young People

We understand that the teenage years can be challenging. That’s why our dietitians create a welcoming and confidential space, encouraging open conversation and empowering teens to make informed, positive choices about their health.

Whether your teen is struggling with their relationship with food or just wants to feel more confident in their body, our team is here to help.

Our Paediatric, Teenage and Adolescent Dietetic Clinic in Birmingham

Our clinic is based in the heart of Edgbaston’s medical quarter. Set within a beautifully refurbished Georgian building, the clinic offers a calm and welcoming environment, perfect for families and young people.

Getting here is easy. Free roadside parking is available directly outside the clinic for up to two hours, and a pay-and-display car park is located just next door. You can pay by cash, contactless, or mobile app.

We’re also well connected by public transport. Fiveways Railway Station is a 15-minute walk away, with direct links to Birmingham New Street, making travel from across the region convenient. Several bus routes also stop just a short walk away at Highfield Road Bus Stop.

FAQ

At our private clinic, you don’t need a GP referral to see a dietitian. If you’re concerned about your child or teenager’s nutrition, growth, or relationship with food, you can book directly with one of our specialist paediatric dietitians. Simply contact our friendly team to arrange an appointment at a time that suits you.

Dietitian fees vary depending on whether you go through the NHS or a private clinic. We offer transparent, upfront pricing for our paediatric and adolescent dietetic services. While private care involves a fee, it also means immediate access to expert support, personalised care, and no long waits. Our team is happy to provide a full breakdown of costs when you get in touch.

Yes, dietitians are available on the NHS, but there is often a long waiting list, and you’ll typically need a GP referral first. At Midland Health, we offer a fast, flexible alternative with no referral needed and no waiting times. You can access specialist paediatric dietitians directly, ensuring your child or teen gets timely, personalised support when it matters most.
