Paediatric and Child Nutrition

Paediatric and Child Nutrition Services

Our registered dietitian has more than 10 years experience working as a paediatric dietitian assessing and advising children and their parents on nutrition for common childhood problems including weaning, fussy eating, pre schoolers , selective eating patterns. We offer full dietary assessment and advice to address your child’s specific needs.

Personalised Nutrition Plans for Children

At MayFair Aesthetic Clinic, we believe that every child’s nutritional needs are unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach to diet simply doesn’t suffice. Our personalised nutrition plans for children are crafted with this philosophy at heart, ensuring that each plan is tailored to meet the individual health requirements, growth patterns, and lifestyle of your child. From infancy through adolescence, our expert dietitians work closely with families to develop comprehensive, age-appropriate nutrition strategies that support healthy development, academic performance, and physical activity levels.

Understanding that children’s preferences and tolerances vary widely, we focus on creating flexible and enjoyable meal plans that encourage positive eating habits without compromising on nutritional value. Whether your child is a picky eater, an aspiring athlete, or needs special dietary consideration due to allergies or health conditions, our personalised plans are designed to promote optimal health, foster a positive relationship with food, and prevent nutritional deficiencies.

Our approach goes beyond mere meal planning; we provide practical advice on portion sizes, food variety, and balancing macronutrients, while also incorporating essential vitamins and minerals that are crucial for growth and development. We believe in empowering parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed nutritional decisions, ensuring that healthy eating becomes a sustainable part of your family’s lifestyle.

Nutritional Support for Food Allergies and Intolerances

MayFair Aesthetic Clinic provides specialised nutritional support for children with food allergies and intolerances, understanding the challenges and concerns associated with managing dietary restrictions. Our expert dietitians excel in identifying and managing food sensitivities, ensuring that each child’s diet remains balanced, nutritious, and safe. We prioritise the prevention of nutritional deficiencies that may arise from eliminating certain foods, offering alternatives that maintain dietary diversity and adequacy.

Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment to accurately identify allergies and intolerances. We then develop a customised nutrition plan that avoids allergens while enriching the child’s diet with all the necessary nutrients. We educate families on reading food labels, understanding cross-contamination risks, and selecting safe substitutes for common allergenic foods such as nuts, dairy, gluten, and eggs.

In addition to meal planning and dietary adjustments, we provide strategies for managing allergic reactions and intolerances in various settings, ensuring that parents and children feel confident and prepared. Our goal is to support the overall well-being of children with food allergies and intolerances, enabling them to thrive and participate fully in all aspects of life without being hindered by dietary limitations.

Healthy Eating Habits for Growing Children

At MayFair Aesthetic Clinic, fostering healthy eating habits for growing children is fundamental to our paediatric nutrition services. We recognise that establishing a foundation of nutritious eating early in life sets the stage for a lifetime of health and wellness. Our dedicated team of dietitians specialises in engaging children and their families in the development of positive dietary practices that support growth, learning, and physical activity.

Our approach is holistic and family-centered, acknowledging that children learn by example and that family meals are crucial for developing healthy habits. We offer practical advice on creating balanced meals that are nutritious and appealing to children, incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into daily eating patterns. Our guidance also extends to portion sizes, understanding nutritional labels, and making smart food choices both at home and when dining out.

We emphasise the importance of breakfast, hydration, and balance of indulgences, teaching children and their families how to enjoy food in a healthy, mindful manner. Through interactive and fun educational resources, we aim to instill a love for healthy eating in children, making nutritious choices exciting and engaging.

Our ultimate goal is not just to advise on what to eat, but to inspire a healthy relationship with food that lasts a lifetime. Through personalised consultations, ongoing support, and community education, MayFair Aesthetic Clinic is committed to nurturing healthy, happy children who are empowered to make the best nutritional choices for their growing bodies.
