Pediatric & Family Nutrition

Tired of Wondering What to Feed Your Kids?

Dinner gets rejected. Lunches come home uneaten. Yesterday's favourite food is suddenly off the list. Your two-year-old won't sit long enough to eat, and half the meal ends up across the table.

And you're left trying to figure out what they'll actually eat and whether they're getting what they need.

Feeding kids can be frustrating, confusing, and surprisingly hard.

I'm Andrea Kroeker, a pediatric dietitian in Calgary and a mom. I provide practical, individualized nutrition support for parents and families through every stage of feeding their kids.

Nutrition Support for Kids and Families

Kids' nutrition needs change as they grow. Nutrition counselling can help with:

  • Picky, selective, or limited eating

  • Starting solids and feeding babies

  • Meal, snack, and school lunch ideas for growing kids and busy families

  • Teen nutrition, including skipped meals, changing appetites, and eating routines

  • Concerns about eating, food, and body image

  • Constipation and digestive concerns

  • ADHD, autism, and sensory differences that affect eating

  • Family meals when everyone eats differently

Whether you're dealing with a specific nutrition concern or simply want reliable guidance about feeding your family, you'll get clear advice about what matters and what to focus on.

Everyday Family Nutrition

Knowing what kids need nutritionally is one thing. Figuring out breakfast, school lunches, snacks, and dinner every day is another.

Some days you have time to cook. Other days you need something on the table in ten minutes. One child may eat almost anything while another has a short list of favourites.

You don't need perfect meals or kids who eat everything. Good nutrition can be simple, flexible, and realistic for your family.

I can help you make sense of what your child needs and make everyday feeding simpler.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you approach weight and body size with children and teens?

I focus on supporting your child's nutrition, growth, health, and relationship with food without making weight or body size the goal. I use weight-inclusive language and help families support healthy eating without dieting, food restriction, or pressure to change a child's body.

Can you help if my child only eats a small number of foods?

Yes. I work with children who have a limited range of foods for many different reasons, including strong food preferences, sensory differences, anxiety around food, or difficulty trying unfamiliar foods. We can support their nutritional needs while also finding ways to reduce stress around food and mealtimes.

Do you provide nutrition counselling for both younger children and teenagers?

Yes. I work with families from starting solids through the teen years. Nutrition concerns change as kids grow, so recommendations are tailored to your child's age, nutritional needs, and what is happening with their eating.
