Paediatric Nutrition Services (Online Only) in Leicester

Paediatric Nutrition Services at The Health Suite Leicester. Expert Nutrition for Your Child’s Growth and Health

The Paediatric Nutrition Services at The Health Suite Leicester are designed to support the nutritional needs of children from infancy through adolescence. Our experienced nutritionists provide personalised guidance to ensure your child receives the right balance of nutrients for optimal growth and development. Whether you’re looking for advice on introducing solids to your baby, managing food allergies, or supporting a child with specific dietary needs, our services are tailored to meet individual requirements.

We focus on creating sustainable, healthy eating habits that support long-term well-being and help prevent nutrition-related issues such as obesity, undernutrition, and poor eating habits. Our team works closely with parents to offer practical solutions, from meal planning to managing picky eating and ensuring your child’s diet is well-balanced and enjoyable. By addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of eating, we aim to create positive relationships with food that benefit your child’s health now and in the future.

Ensuring your child receives the right balance of nutrients is one of the most important steps you can take to support their long-term well-being. Paediatric nutrition goes beyond simply “what to eat”; it’s about providing the essential building blocks children need to grow, learn, and thrive at every stage of development.
At The Health Suite Leicester, we provide comprehensive, child-focused nutrition services via our online-only platform, comparable to those of a paediatric dietician. Our evidence-based, practical approach helps families establish healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime—no matter where you live.

Why Paediatric Nutrition Matters

  • Promotes Healthy Growth: A balanced diet provides essential nutrients that support strong bones, muscle function, and overall physical development in children.
  • Enhances Cognitive Development: Nutrients like proteins, healthy fats, and vitamins fuel the brain, improving concentration, memory, and learning abilities.
  • Strengthens Immunity: A variety of nutrient-rich foods help boost the immune system, reducing the frequency and intensity of common illnesses in children.
  • Instills Lifelong Habits: Healthy eating habits formed in childhood set the foundation for better food choices in adulthood, promoting long-term well-being.

Our Personalised Approach

Every child has unique nutritional needs, and at The Health Suite Leicester, we understand that no two children are the same. Our paediatric nutrition strategies are personalised to address each child’s specific requirements, whether it’s helping a picky eater develop healthier eating habits or managing complex dietary concerns such as food allergies, intolerances, or medical conditions. We work closely with parents to create a plan that aligns with their child’s preferences and lifestyle, ensuring the approach is both practical and effective.

Our services are delivered through virtual consultations, offering convenience for busy families. This flexible option allows parents to access expert nutrition advice from the comfort of their home, without the need for in-person visits. Whether your child is struggling with weight management, food aversions, or specific health conditions, our tailored nutrition strategies are designed to foster positive and lasting changes, helping your child develop a balanced, enjoyable relationship with food.

FAQ

Key Nutritional Questions from Parents

Below are some of the most common queries we hear from parents who want to optimise their child’s diet and overall health:

Children need a variety of nutrients—proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals—to support healthy growth. Nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, iron, and B vitamins are especially critical.

We recommend a colourful assortment of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Our personalised online meal plans guide you on portion sizes and food group combinations tailored to each stage of development.

Calorie needs vary by age, growth rate, and activity level. Our virtual consultations help you determine an appropriate range to ensure healthy growth without under- or over-nourishing.

Aim for a mix of proteins, carbs, and healthy fats, plus essential vitamins and minerals. We’ll provide age-appropriate menu ideas and remote check-ins to refine your child’s diet as needed.

Encouraging a varied diet is key. For added confidence, we offer micronutrient testing to uncover any specific deficiencies, and then tailor an at-home intervention plan.

Common Childhood Nutritional Concerns We Address

  • Food Allergies & Intolerances
    Safe substitutions and management plans to avoid allergens while maintaining balanced nutrition, supported by remote testing and virtual guidance.

Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.

Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.

Our paediatric nutrition services provide the same specialist care typically associated with a paediatric dietician. Families can expect customised meal plans, thorough assessments, and hands-on guidance tailored to children’s unique needs—all delivered in a virtual format.

While both professionals offer expert guidance, some families prefer a holistic and lifestyle-focused approach. Our nutrition professionals have extensive training in paediatric nutrition—delivering the same quality of support you’d expect from a paediatric dietician, but 100% online.

We handle mild to moderate picky eating through online coaching. In cases involving extensive food refusal or underlying medical conditions, we may recommend working alongside specialised feeding therapists or other professionals in tandem with our virtual services.

Depending on symptoms and health history, we may suggest allergy and food intolerance testing, micronutrient testing, or gut health analysis—all of which can be conducted or initiated at home.

We schedule periodic virtual follow-ups to review growth metrics (reported by parents, home scales, or pediatric checkups), dietary intake, and overall improvements.

Yes. We tailor our approach to children with diabetes, coeliac disease, or digestive disorders, ensuring any specific dietary needs are met—all through remote consultations and monitoring.

Absolutely. We’re experienced in creating meal plans for families with varying preferences, allergies, and dietary restrictions—even if you’re all in different locations.

Yes, our service is entirely online, making it convenient for families wherever they are in the world.

Every child is different. Parents often report a wider variety of accepted foods, reduced mealtime stress, and better overall energy levels within a few weeks of consistent implementation.

Contact us to set up an initial virtual consultation. We’ll discuss your child’s dietary needs, recommend relevant tests, and craft a personalised plan to support their growth and development—entirely online.
