This program tracks your child's growth against standard charts and provides tailored feeding and nutrition guidance, whether your child is gaining weight too slowly or too quickly.
Guidance is personalised to your child's growth pattern, age and specific nutritional needs.

The Care Pathway
1. Assessment
Growth measurements are plotted against standard charts, alongside a feeding history.
2. Nutrition Plan
A tailored feeding or diet plan is created based on your child's needs.
3. Monitoring
Regular follow-up visits track growth progress over time.
4. Long-Term Follow-up
The plan is adjusted as your child grows and needs change.
“Our pediatric care team supports your child and family through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
The primary goal is healthy, steady growth appropriate for your child's age. Most children respond well to a structured nutrition plan.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your child's care team will discuss individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Most families notice improved feeding patterns within a few weeks, with growth improvement visible over one to three months.
Your child's care plan includes a personalised nutrition plan, regular growth monitoring, and guidance adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Careful monitoring, follow-up visits and parent guidance all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome for your child.
