Common questions we often hear from parents include: "Is my baby lacking any nutrients?", "Does my child need micronutrient supplements?", or "My child is a picky eater and isn't growing taller, should I supplement anything?"
According to doctors' advice, if your child experiences poor appetite, prolonged picky eating, abnormal growth, poor weight gain, lack of height increase, frequent fatigue, recurrent illnesses, or poor sleep, parents should take their child for a medical check-up before self-administering any micronutrient supplements.
During a micronutrient screening, your child will receive:
- An assessment of their current nutritional status.
- A 24-hour dietary recall survey.
- Micronutrient testing and screening.
- A customized sample menu.
Micronutrient screening helps build the best and most suitable nutritional foundation, ensuring your child stays healthy and achieves age-appropriate development.
At the Nutrition Department of Phuong Nam Hospital, children and their families will experience:
- Evaluations based on the child's "golden periods" of growth, ensuring developmental needs are met at every age milestone.
- Comprehensive nutritional assessments, including detailed dietary surveys.
- Holistic counseling on daily diets.
- Practical guidance on food preparation and cooking.
- Direct connection with our doctors for any questions or challenges encountered while applying the nutritional plan at home.
