Child nutrition
In our clinic, we offer a specialized child nutrition service, designed to accompany and guide families in the healthy nutrition of their children, from the first months of life until adolescence. We know that good nutrition is essential for the proper growth, development and overall well-being of children, so our team of nutritionists specialized in pediatrics is here to provide you with a personalized feeding plan tailored to the needs of each stage.
Why is child nutrition important?
Childhood nutrition plays an essential role in the physical, cognitive and emotional development of children. A balanced diet appropriate to each stage of growth not only provides them with the necessary energy, but also strengthens their immune system, favors the development of strong bones and muscles, and contributes to the establishment of healthy habits that will accompany them throughout their lives.
Proper nutrition is also key to preventing common nutritional problems in childhood, such as overweight and obesity, malnutrition or nutrient deficiencies, and eating disorders that can affect their future health.
When to consult with a child nutritionist?
Consulting with a child nutritionist is beneficial at various stages of development, as well as in specific situations where nutrition may play a key role. Some reasons why you might need this service include:
Introduction of complementary feeding: Starting at 6 months of age, it is critical to ensure a proper transition from breastfeeding or formula to solid foods.
Feeding problems: If your child has feeding difficulties, food refusal or food allergies.
Childhood overweight and obesity: We help design a healthy and balanced eating plan for weight control in children, encouraging positive eating habits.
Growth deficit or malnutrition: We advise parents on how to improve their children's nutritional intake to ensure proper growth.
Children with special needs: We adapt meal plans for children with medical conditions, such as diabetes, celiac disease, food intolerances or metabolic disorders.
Education in healthy habits: Throughout childhood and adolescence, it is important to teach children the importance of a balanced diet and how to make healthy choices.
What do we address in our consultations?
Each consultation with our child nutrition team is completely personalized, tailored to the child's age, health status and food preferences. Aspects we address include:
Comprehensive nutritional assessment: we analyze the child's nutritional status by reviewing medical history, eating habits, weight, height and physical activity.
Personalized meal plans: We develop a balanced and varied meal plan tailored to the child's needs, taking into account their preferences and possible intolerances or allergies.
Guidance for parents: We offer advice on how to prepare healthy and balanced meals at home, as well as strategies to improve the child's eating habits.
Promoting healthy habits: We work to create lasting eating habits, encouraging dietary diversity and the right food choices.
Monitoring and follow-up: We perform regular follow-up to adjust feeding plans according to the child's growth and needs at each stage of development.
Benefits of good nutrition in children
Proper nutrition during infancy brings both short- and long-term benefits, including:
Optimal growth and development: Provides the nutrients necessary for bones, muscles and organs to develop properly.
Improved school performance: A balanced diet helps improve concentration, memory and overall cognitive performance.
Strengthening the immune system: Helps prevent disease and develop stronger defenses against infections.
Preventing chronic diseases: Healthy eating habits from an early age can prevent the onset of diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease in the future.
Establishment of lifelong habits: A good relationship with food and learning healthy habits translate into a healthier and more balanced adult life.
