Pregnancy Nutrition
A maternal dietitian can help you make healthy diet choices from the very beginning.
The nutrition choices we make for ourselves and our babies have the potential to affect their health. That's a pretty big burden to carry alone and a lot of information to sift through and interpret yourself!
Our dietitians are able to assist you on your journey from pre-conception through to pregnancy stages, birth and first breast or bottle feed. We're also here to help with baby's first solid foods and weaning.
Family Dietetics nutritionists can assist with:
- metabolic conditions affecting conception; diabetes, insulin resistance, overweight, PCOS
- morning sickness and reflux
- safe pregnancy foods
- eating to childhood prevent allergies
- healthy weight gain
- gestational diabetes
- breastfeeding
- infant formula choices
- feeding difficulties
- poor growth/failure to thrive
- healthy growth curve establishment
- babies first solids
- weaning techniques
- feeding difficulties
Family Dietetics dietitians can see mothers-to-be or your baby at Private Consulting Suites or Mobile Nutrition Services.
