Pediatric Nutrition

A healthy and nutritious diet is a prerequisite for optimum growth and development in children. Natural foods should fulfill the demand for vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fibers rather than supplements. A healthy and balanced diet delivers sustained energy to the child and prevents malnutrition. The children's diet and dietary habits can be managed by consulting with an expert nutritionist.

Our Offerings

  • Weaning diet: Weaning is a process of transitioning the baby from breast milk to food. There are normally three stages of weaning. Stage I includes an introduction to solid food, stage II involves giving food of more taste and texture, and stage III comprises family food or a wider variety of food. It is important to take advice from a nutritionist during weaning to ensure the supply of adequate nutrients to the child.
  • Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiency of essential nutrients has short and long-term consequences on the child. These include poor immunity, reduced cognitive function, impaired physical growth, weight loss, fatigue, and altered behavior or mood.
