Heartful Eating Recovery helps you support your child through picky eating, food aversions, and feeding challenges, with your child's own care team guiding every step. If mealtimes have become stressful, you are not alone, and it is not your fault. Whether your child is a selective eater, avoids whole food groups, or struggles with the texture or smell of new foods, real progress comes from small, gentle steps. This app brings the plan from your feeding therapist, dietitian, or psychologist into your kitchen, so you always know what to do today. The app works together with your child's care provider. If your clinic gave you an invite code, you are ready to go. Not working with a feeding specialist yet? You can still explore our resources and browse our provider directory to find care near you. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? - Your toddler or young child eats only a handful of foods, and the list keeps shrinking. - The picky eating everyone said they would outgrow has not improved with time. - New textures or smells make your child gag, and mixed foods are always a no. - Your child needs the same brands and the same routines around food, every single time. Many families of children with autism know this one well. - Ever since a scary choking or vomiting moment, your child is afraid to eat. - Your child just never seems hungry or interested in food at all. - Mealtimes have turned into battles, or your child has a diagnosed feeding disorder such as ARFID. If you nodded at any of these, this app was made for your family. WHAT YOU CAN DO - See today's steps, prepared by your care team, on one calm home screen. - Log meals in a few taps. We track exploration and engagement, never calories and never pressure to eat. - Follow gentle food practice your clinician designed, from looking and touching to tasting, at your child's pace. - Check in on your own mealtime stress with a short daily diary. Feeding a selective eater is hard on parents too, and your care team can support you better when they see it. - Message your care team securely between visits. - Watch your week add up: foods your child is warming up to, practice completed, and calmer mealtimes. HOW IT WORKS Your child's clinician gets to know what makes eating hard for your child, then builds a plan that fits: which safe foods to lean on, which new foods to explore, gentle practice steps like food chaining from foods your child already loves, or a predictable mealtime routine. You see that plan one day at a time, and what you log flows back to your care team, so the plan grows with your child. BUILT FOR FAMILIES LIKE YOURS Most eating and nutrition apps are built for adults. This one was built for the parent of a young child, working with a real feeding clinician. No diets, no clean plates, no one-size-fits-all advice. Everything in the app comes from your child's care team, whether you are working through everyday picky eating or a diagnosed feeding disorder such as ARFID. NOT CONNECTED TO A CLINIC YET? The daily plan, logging, and messaging open up once a care provider invites you, because everything in this app is built around real clinical guidance, not generic advice and not a typical habit tracker. Until then, you can read our parent resources on picky eating and feeding challenges, and browse the provider directory to find feeding therapy near you. Ask your pediatrician, dietitian, or feeding therapist about Heartful Eating Recovery, or show them the app at your next visit. PRIVATE AND SECURE And everything you share stays between you and your care team, protected under HIPAA like the rest of your child's health information. IMPORTANT The app does not diagnose or treat any condition, and it is not a medical device. Your clinician always leads, and their guidance comes first. If you are ever worried about your child's safety, call 911 or your provider as the app is not for emergencies. ## Version history (last 1 release) ### 1.0 — 2026-08-18 No release notes. ## More apps by Heartful Sprout Inc. - [Heartful Sprout - Baby Food](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/heartful-sprout-baby-food/id6444663077) - [BlendBuddy - Tube Feeding](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blendbuddy-tube-feeding/id6755739824) - [Heartful Baby - Smart Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/heartful-baby-smart-tracker/id6761222632) All apps by Heartful Sprout Inc.: https://appshunter.io/developer/1655943012 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
