Parents play the most important role in a child's nutrition. Reetika guides you on
Regular follow-ups track your child's growth, weight, energy and eating progress with plan updates as your child grows and their needs change.
Picky eating is one of the most common and frustrating challenges Indian parents face. Here are practical tips Reetika Singh recommends for parents in Delhi & Noida:
Make food visually appealing
colorful plates, fun shapes and creative presentations make children curious about food
Introduce one new food at a time
don't overwhelm your child with too many new foods at once
Hide nutrients in familiar foods
add spinach to parathas, dal to khichdi, carrots to cheela
Follow a meal schedule
fixed meal and snack times regulate hunger and reduce fussiness
Never force feed
forcing creates negative associations with food and worsens picky eating
Eat together as a family
children eat better when they see parents eating the same foods
Praise not pressure
celebrate when your child tries something new without making it a big deal
No screens during meals
distraction-free eating improves food awareness and portion control
Involve children in grocery shopping
letting them pick a vegetable or fruit increases their interest in eating it
Keep healthy snacks visible
fruits, nuts and healthy snacks on the kitchen counter encourage better choices
You can consult a child nutritionist at any age from 6 months during weaning to teenage years. The earlier you address nutritional concerns the better the long term impact on your child's growth and health.
Some picky eating is normal in toddlers but if it is severely limiting your child's nutrition it needs to be addressed. Reetika helps parents gradually expand their child's food acceptance through practical, stress-free strategies.
A child nutritionist assesses your child's weight and height against standard growth charts for their age and gender. Reetika evaluates this in the first consultation and recommends the appropriate nutrition plan.
Foods rich in omega-3, iron and B vitamins are best for brain development including eggs, walnuts, almonds, fish, dark green leafy vegetables, dal and whole grains. Reetika incorporates these into practical Indian meal plans.
Milk is not the only source of calcium. Ragi, sesame seeds, paneer, curd, almonds and green leafy vegetables are excellent calcium sources that can be incorporated into your child's Indian diet plan.
Most parents notice gradual improvement within 3 to 4 weeks of consistently following the guidance. Patience and consistency are key every child progresses at their own pace.
