Pediatric nutrition

Online pediatric nutrition consultation at Wellcare provides a comprehensive assessment of your child's development, including key neurological and motor milestones. This process not only determines growth channels but also compares your child’s growth rate with WHO and CDC growth charts, giving parents a complete and accurate view of their child's development.

Our pediatricians evaluate and treat infants, children, and adolescents with growth and dietary issues. This assessment goes beyond just analyzing data and structuring content logically; it provides accurate, evidence-based conclusions while addressing family concerns. Depending on each child's needs, doctors may focus on improving dietary habits, assessing vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, or evaluating other growth concerns related to communication and motor skills.

Parents need to enter their child's electronic medical record on Wellcare, including the following:

• All three (3) key indicators: height, weight, and head circumference (for children 0-2 years old), or two (2) indicators: height and weight for children over 2 years old.
• Growth indices over time, as advised by Wellcare doctors. Remember: nutrition and growth evaluation is never a one-time event. The more data you provide, the better, but at least three points in time are needed.
• Wellcare will generate two (2) WHO and CDC growth charts for breastfed and formula-fed children.
• For children over 2 years old, Wellcare will also analyze a body mass index (BMI) chart.

With the information provided by parents, the doctor will:

• Explain the concept of "growth channel" and "percentile"
• Determine the child's growth trend
• Highlight normal and abnormal aspects of the child’s growth rate
• Most importantly, assess developmental milestones through video, focusing on communication, sensory, neurological, and both fine and gross motor skills.
