Nutrition & Healthy Eating for your child

Good nutrition is vital for your child’s health as they develop. Healthy eating can help children maintain a healthy body weight, as well as reducing the risk of developing health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, cancer and more.

If you’re concerned with your child’s diet and nutrition, we’re on hand to help. During your visit we can make food recommendations for your child to ensure they are receiving all the nutrients they need for healthy development.

We’ve included below the guidelines for how many calories your child should be consuming per day, and also a breakdown of where that can come from.
