Nutritional Guidance For Growth Concerns, Including Faltering Growth and Obesity

Comprehensive Growth Assessment

I provide comprehensive nutritional assessments to evaluate your child's growth history and nutritional status.

​

Whether your child is growing more slowly than expected or experiencing rapid weight gain, together, we’ll take a balanced, child-centred approach to nutrition that supports healthy growth without guilt or pressure.

​

Nutritional Review & Practical Support

I assess dietary intake in detail, reviewing energy, protein and key micronutrients that influence growth and development.

​

Where needed, I provide practical, food-first strategies such as fortification, structured meal planning, and realistic adjustments to support healthy weight gain or stabilisation.

​

Supplementation is advised only when appropriate and clearly explained.

​

Exploring the Wider Picture

Growth concerns are not always about food alone. I consider factors such as gastrointestinal symptoms, allergies, constipation, illness, feeding difficulties, and family history.

​

If indicated, I can liaise with your GP or paediatric team and recommend further investigations to rule out underlying causes, ensuring your child receives joined-up, thorough care.
