A diet and nutrition consultant for children plays a crucial role in ensuring proper growth and development through balanced nutrition. Common problems include malnutrition, obesity, food allergies, and deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals. Symptoms such as poor weight gain, fatigue, frequent illnesses, digestive issues, or unhealthy eating habits may indicate the need for nutritional guidance. The time taken for assessment and dietary planning varies depending on the child’s needs, usually involving regular follow-ups for progress tracking. The benefits of consulting a nutrition specialist include improved immunity, better digestion, healthy weight management, and enhanced overall well-being.
