Frequently asked questions

If you have them, bring lab results from the last six months, the boxes of supplements you take or that your doctor recommended, and for baby and child visits the record of growth checks. A three-day food diary makes the visit more useful.

No, it is a request. After you send the form I call you within 1 working day and we set a time from the days you prefer.

I suggest doing part of the first visit without your child, so we can talk freely about difficulties at the table. You can bring your child to follow-ups; there is a play corner in the room.

The content and length are the same. In person we take body measurements at the practice; for babies and children we look at them together with your paediatrician's records.

Yes. Dietary history and measurements are kept in your client file and not shared with third parties. The booking form does not ask for health information; we talk about it at the visit, with your explicit consent.

You can reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before. For later cancellations, for example if your baby falls ill, I am flexible; please let me know.

Some private health policies may cover dietitian visits. Please ask your insurer about your policy; an invoice is issued after the visit.

A baby fed only breast milk does not need extra water in the first six months. Once solids start you can offer a little water from a cup at meals.

No. Energy needs barely rise in the first trimester; later the increase is about one snack. What matters is not quantity but getting iron, folate, calcium and protein onto the plate regularly.

Milk production depends mostly on how often and how effectively the baby feeds. Enough fluid and regular meals help the mother recover. If you are worried about supply, talk to a lactation consultant or your paediatrician.
