Pediatric Nutrition in Yelahanka — Diet, Growth & Weight Guidance for Children
Nutrition concerns — picky eating, poor weight gain, or a child who is overweight for their age — are among the most common reasons parents visit us. At Ananya Kidz & Family Multispeciality Centre, Yelahanka, the entire Nutrition department is handled personally by the doctor, with individualised diet, exercise, and supplement guidance based on each child's growth data.

Signs Your Child May Need a Nutrition Review

Our Approach
- Growth chart review against WHO/IAP standards to see the actual trend, not a single-visit snapshot
- Diet history and typical daily intake review with the parent, conducted personally by the doctor
- Identification of likely nutrient gaps based on the child's eating pattern
- A personalised diet chart prepared individually for the child, based on whether the concern is under-nutrition or childhood obesity
- An exercise chart prepared individually where relevant, alongside the diet plan
- A supplements-required chart, only where an actual gap is identified — not a default add-on
- Follow-up growth tracking to confirm the plan is working

Frequently Asked Questions
My child is a picky eater — how worried should I be?
Picky eating is common in toddlers and often improves with time. It becomes worth a closer look when it limits variety severely, affects weight gain, or turns every meal into a stressful battle — a growth-chart review helps tell the difference between a normal phase and something needing attention.
How can I tell if my child is underweight or just naturally thin?
A single measurement doesn't tell you much — what matters is the trend on a growth chart over several visits. Some children are naturally slim but growing steadily along their own curve, while others show a flattening or dropping trend that needs evaluation.
Is it okay for my child to take multivitamins or supplements?
This depends on the child's actual diet, growth pattern, and any specific deficiency, so it's best decided after a nutrition review rather than started on your own — some supplements are unnecessary, and a few can be harmful in excess.
My child is overweight — what does treatment involve?
Childhood obesity is managed differently from under-nutrition. After a growth-chart and lifestyle review, the doctor prepares an individualised diet chart and exercise chart matched to your child's specific situation, rather than a generic weight-loss plan.
