My Pedia Clinic - Newborn Care 2

Infant nutrition and introducing solids are crucial in your baby’s growth, development, and overall health. Babies experience rapid growth and brain development during the first year of life. Providing them with the right nutrients is crucial for their health and well-being. Breast milk or formula is the main source of nutrition for infants up to six months old, and as they grow, introducing solid foods becomes an essential milestone.

Patients Love Us

Grace

I was struggling with breastfeeding my newborn and she was getting fussy after every feed. So I took her for a check up with Nutritionist and Lactation Specialist Mirna Sabbagh. She is very knowledgeable and has helped me a lot with breastfeeding positions that would help my baby latch and feed in a better way. She also gave me the right tips about my diet and what would affect my baby. I would definitely be consulting her again for my baby’s eating behavior in the future

Jana

Dietitian Nutritionist has helped me with my child’s picky eating behaviors with developing strategies that work for our family along with meal plans that will encourage him to try new varieties. She also assessed what are the reasons behind his picky eating through his diet or our parenting approaches. My son now eats 90% of our food. My family now has much better healthy eating habits that I’m very happy with as a mother.

Nicolas

I would highly recommend Nutritionist Yasmine Haddad. She has a great approach with kids and creates a bond with them that keeps them committed and has a better understanding of what is going on and helps them do better and better.

My baby has been suffering from poor feeding and lack of proper nutrition. I recently visited my pedia clinic and they truly supported us with everything! They are very professional and dedicated to supporting parents. They made our entire experience stress free! We did both lip and tongue tie procedure with DR. Medhat and he was excellent! We also visited the nutritionist Dr Ahed that really helped us in introducing solids and shared very valuable insights. She’s been supportive and responsive to all our needs!! Highly recommend this clinic.
