Teenage

If your child’s pediatrician has shared concerns that your child is “falling off their growth chart” or gaining weight too quickly, that can be scary! At Milestones Pediatric & Maternal Nutrition, we are here to support you and your child as we work together to help them get the nutrients that they need in order to grow and thrive throughout their teen years and beyond.

Navigating food allergies, especially if your child is often eating away from home or if you do not have any food allergies yourself, can be hard. Our registered dietitian has two certificates of training in food allergy management and is here to help you keep your child safe, while still allowing your child to enjoy their favorite activities and get the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.

It is exciting when your child finds something that they are passionate about; sports are no exception. For teens participating in competitive sports, it is important to ensure that they are getting adequate nutrition and hydration to support not only their continued growth, but also to fuel their bodies during their sport and allow their bodies to recover after training and competition.
