Nutrition Counselling

Nutrition Counselling

Good nutrition plays an important role in a child’s growth, development, immunity and overall health. Dr. Bhaskar Borah Sonowal provides pediatric nutrition counselling to help parents understand their child’s nutritional needs and develop healthy eating habits from an early age.

Personalized Nutrition Guidance

Every child has different nutritional requirements depending on their age, growth pattern, activity level and health needs. Nutrition counselling focuses on practical and age-appropriate dietary guidance.

• Balanced diet planning for children
• Guidance on age-appropriate nutrition
• Healthy eating habits and meal planning
• Support for picky eating concerns
• Guidance on adequate hydration
• Nutrition advice during illness and recovery

Nutrition for Healthy Growth

Adequate nutrition is essential for proper physical and mental development. Regular growth monitoring can help identify nutritional concerns early and provide appropriate dietary guidance.

Parents may receive guidance related to:

• Healthy weight gain and growth
• Protein, vitamins and mineral requirements
• Healthy snacks and meal choices
• Infant and child feeding practices
• Preventing unhealthy eating habits

Support for Childhood Obesity

Nutrition counselling can also help children who are at risk of overweight or childhood obesity. The focus is on developing sustainable eating and lifestyle habits rather than restrictive diets.

Guidance may include:

• Healthier food choices
• Appropriate portion sizes
• Reducing excessive processed foods and sugary drinks
• Encouraging regular physical activity
• Healthy lifestyle habits for the whole family

Nutrition During Childhood Illness

Children may have different nutritional needs during illness or recovery. Parents can receive appropriate dietary guidance to help support hydration, recovery and overall nutritional well-being.
