FEED Nutrition Services

Nutritionist

Forming Early Eating Decisions (FEED) was founded in 2008 in Chicago by Registered Dietitian Lara Field, while in clinical practice at the University of Chicago Medical Center’s Comer Children’s Hospital.
We know that diet books are available by the thousands, and that it’s easy to go on the Internet to find “do’s and don’ts” for gluten-free eating, how-to advice for parents desperate to improve the diet of picky eaters, and lists of foods to avoid if you have high cholesterol, diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease, etc.
We also know that this type of information is only partly helpful, and that it, sadly, is often based on misinformation. Read more

    ... I had a follow-up meeting w/ Lara this week and feel like we've already made so many improvements (thanks to her), yet I still came home with new meal/snack ideas from our time together.

    Highly recommend if you have a picky eater, a kid with food allergies or other limitations (celiac?) and/or are just clueless (like me!) on what to feed your kids.

    I have had the privilege of watching Lara give numerous food allergy and Celiac disease presentations. The combination of Lara’s work experience and scientific knowledge background makes her an expert speaker in her field. I had asked Lara to speak at a Chicago Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics dinner meeting a while back and she delivered an exceptional speech.

    Lara is an excellent pediatric dietician. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable about pediatric nutrition, she is also compassionate about her work and the children she serves. As a mother, I frequently sought Lara's expertise in nutrition. As a professional, I did the same. I recommend Lara's expertise and skill as a pediatric nutritionist. She is excellent!

    Lara's passion for wellness and healthy eating habits for families radiates from her. Her warmth and kind nature are equally matched by the breadth and depth of her knowledge about pediatric nutrition. As a mother and parenting coach, I consider her my go-to resource and recommend her without hesitation!
