Why do infants need Nutritional Counselling? Every infant must receive proper nutrition for good growth. Moreover, this information must be known to the parents/guardians also. We provide this information through NUTRITIONAL COUNSELLING.

This need is different for every child. The counselling should not be a “One size fits all” approach.

What kind of diet did the mother have when the baby was in the womb? What is the mother’s own nutritional status? Which supplements did the mother take? How mature was the baby when born? Will the baby be fed mother’s milk or formula? What are the family’s eating habits? At what age will the child be given complementary foods?

Or, if older children come, what has been their nutritional history? such as when complementary food was started, how it was introduced, and at what age supplements were given. We provide nutritional counselling only after gathering information about many such factors.

Nutritional Counselling also depends on the direction the child’s weight is heading—whether it’s tending towards excessive weight or if the appropriate weight is not being achieved. After measuring their growth and development, we decide what kind of diet should be provided to the child.
