Paediatric Nutrition Specialty Clinic
Spectrum Nutrition dietitian Karen Greer specialises in paediatric nutrition (under 18 years), and through our dedicated Paediatric Nutrition Clinic she can provide expert advice and guidance to support your child or adolescent’s health through their diet and nutrition.
Good nutrition is essential during childhood and adolescence, as it is a time of rapid growth and development. Children need the right balance of nutrients and require different amounts of specific nutrients at different ages in order to reach their full potential.
General eating habits, preferences and patterns are formed in the first few years of life, and the foods and quantities children eat can be a huge source of stress for parents and carers, especially when children are experiencing fussy eating, allergies, intolerances or other health conditions that may require further consideration. Karen is here to help manage these complications, ensuring your child enjoys their food while also getting the right nutrients for their specific needs. She also works to empower parents with the knowledge and confidence they need to continue to optimise their child’s health through their nutrition, while instilling positive feeding experiences for all the family.
