Nutrition Guidance

Breast milk or formula? How much is too much? When to begin solids? Is baby fat a bad thing? What is a normal weight for my child?

Parents have questions, and Northwest Pediatrics has answers and guidance. From lactation support to teenage body image issues, our providers help parents and children make the best nutritional choices for their health. These may include vitamin and supplement recommendations, food allergy management, and other special diet concerns.

Parents can find good basic guidance from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which offers guidelines and resources for healthy eating at https://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
