At what age should I consult a Pediatric Nutritionist?
While a pediatric nutritionist can help at any stage, consultation is often highly beneficial during periods of rapid growth (like 10-16 years old), or when parents notice specific concerns like fussy eating, growth plateaus, or managing a diagnosis that requires a specialised diet.
Can a Pediatric Nutritionist help with unexplained weight gain or loss in teenagers?
Yes. A key role of a pediatric nutritionist is assessing and managing weight. They can identify nutritional gaps or excesses, educate families on balanced eating, and create a sustainable, age-appropriate diet plan to support a healthy body composition in your teen.
What qualifications should I look for in a Pediatric Nutritionist in Mumbai?
When searching for a pediatric nutritionist in Mumbai, look for a professional who is a Registered Dietitian (RD) or has specialized certification in pediatric nutrition. Experience in addressing complex issues like digestive health and metabolic disorders is also crucial for optimal care.
How does proper nutrition support my child's immune system?
Essential micronutrients, including vitamins C and D, Zinc, and healthy gut bacteria, are critical for a strong childhood immune system. A pediatric nutritionist ensures your child’s diet is optimized to provide these nutrients, helping to build long-term defense against illness.
