Private Paediatric Dietitian: Expert Child Nutrition Support with Christina Hills
Are you looking for a private paediatric dietitian near me to support your baby, child, or teenager’s nutrition? You’re in the right place!
I’m Christina Hills, a HCPC-registered private paediatric dietitian and founder of The Happy Feeding Company. With over 10 years’ experience in the NHS and private practice, I specialise in helping families feel confident and supported with all aspects of infant and child feeding.
From those very first spoonfuls of solids to navigating allergies, intolerances, or more complex feeding difficulties, my aim is always the same: to give you clear, practical, evidence-based advice that works for your child and your family.
Why Choose a Private Paediatric Dietitian?
The benefits of personalised child nutrition advice
Every child is unique- and so are their nutrition needs. While general information online can be overwhelming and conflicting, a private paediatric dietitian provides tailored guidance you can trust. I am HCPC and BDA registered.
When to see a paediatric dietitian “near me”
Parents often reach out ton me when:
Weaning feels overwhelming and they want reassurance they’re “doing it right”
Their baby or child has allergies, intolerances or special dietary needs
Picky or restricted eating is causing stress at mealtimes
There is a suspected or confirmed ARFID diagnosis
There are ongoing gut issues like constipation, pain, bloating or loose bowels which could be caused by a food allergy or intolerance
Growth, weight or nutrient intake is a concern
They want expert support for plant-based or vegetarian diets
Common Concerns Parents Ask About
Weaning, baby-led feeding and first foods
I help families navigate solids- from spoon feeding to baby-led weaning-making sure little ones get the right nutrients, including iron, protein and healthy fats.
Allergies, intolerances and gut health
As a child dietitian, I support parents managing cow’s milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, coeliac disease and other gut-related concerns such as abdominal pain, constipation, loose stools, functional gut issues and IBS.
Picky eating, ARFID and selective feeding
Mealtimes can become stressful if your child refuses foods or eats only a limited range. I use evidence-based feeding approaches (including sensory strategies and the “steps to eating” model) to help expand food variety and reduce anxiety.
Growth, weight and nutrient adequacy
Whether your child is faltering on their growth curve or you’re worried about over-nutrition, I’ll guide you with meal plans, supplementation advice, and where relevant, recommend appropriate blood tests.
Online & Face-to-Face Paediatric Dietitian Support
Flexible virtual consultations from home
I offer online 1:1 consultations so you can access specialist advice without leaving your living room. Perfect for busy families or if you’re further afield.
In-person appointments in Bucks, Beds & North London
For those who prefer face-to-face sessions, I also see families in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and some areas of North London (by request only, subject to a location check). This gives you the flexibility to choose what works best for your family.
How a Private Paediatric Dietitian Can Help Your Family
Evidence-based, practical strategies
I combine up-to-date research with practical feeding strategies you can actually use at home. That means fewer mealtime battles, and more confidence that your child’s nutrition is on track.
Building confidence and reducing mealtime stress
Whether your concern is allergies, plant-based nutrition, or simply helping your child eat more variety, having a paediatric feeding specialist on your side can make all the difference.

What to expect in your first session
In your first consultation, I’ll listen carefully to your concerns, review your child’s current diet, and put together a personalised, realistic nutrition plan.
Feeding children can feel like one of the most joyful, but also one of the most stressful parts of parenting. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. With support from a private paediatric dietitian, you can feel confident your child is getting exactly what they need to grow, thrive, and enjoy food.
