Common Questions About Nutrition
Clear, expert answers to the questions parents ask most often regarding their child's diet.
Most children who eat a well-balanced diet do not need daily multivitamin supplements. However, infants often need Vitamin D, and picky eaters or children on vegetarian/vegan diets might require specific supplements. We will evaluate your child's specific needs during their checkup.
Infants under 6 months generally do not need water; they get enough hydration from breast milk or formula. Toddlers should drink about 2 to 4 cups of water daily, and older children need 5 to 8 cups, especially when active or in hot weather.
Current guidelines suggest introducing allergenic foods (like peanut butter, eggs, and dairy) early, around 4-6 months, alongside other solid foods. This can actually help prevent allergies. We will provide a step-by-step guide tailored to your baby's risk profile.
Great snacks include fresh fruit, sliced vegetables with hummus, yogurt, cheese sticks, and whole-grain crackers. We recommend avoiding highly processed snacks with added sugars and artificial dyes.
