Frequently asked questions
When should I take my child to a dietitian?
Consider a paediatric nutrition assessment if your child eats a very narrow range of foods, has a persistently poor appetite, is gaining weight quickly, is growing more slowly than expected or has a diagnosed condition such as allergy or anaemia. Mealtime battles that stress the whole family are also a good reason to book in Beylikdüzü.
Will my child be put on a diet to lose weight?
No. Restrictive diets are not used with growing children because they can affect growth, mood and the child's relationship with food. When excess weight is the concern, the aim is to improve meal structure, food quality, activity and sleep for the whole family so the child grows into a healthy weight over time.
How can a dietitian help a picky eater?
Picky eating is approached without pressure or bribes. A dietitian reviews the current food variety, checks growth and nutrient intake, and then introduces new foods in small, repeated, low-stress steps alongside familiar ones. Parents get practical routines for mealtimes, snacks and portions that reduce conflict at the table.
Does my child need to come to the nutrition appointment?
The first session is mainly with parents, so you can talk openly about eating habits, growth history and concerns. Depending on age, the child joins part of the session or later ones; teenagers usually take a more active role. For babies and toddlers, the work is almost entirely through the parents.
Do children need vitamin supplements?
Most children who eat a reasonably varied diet do not need routine supplements, although vitamin D is commonly advised for certain age groups. Whether your child needs one depends on their intake, growth and any blood tests, and is decided together with your paediatrician rather than started on your own.
