Nutrition OPD – Building a Strong Foundation Through Healthy Eating

Good nutrition is the cornerstone of a child’s growth, development, and lifelong health. At Dr. Ayyasamy Children Hospital, our dedicated Nutrition OPD focuses on addressing the dietary and nutritional needs of infants, children, and adolescents.

Led by Dr. Ramprakash MA, a senior consultant pediatrician with over 13 years of experience and a postgraduate qualification in Pediatric Nutrition (PGPN) from Boston University, USA, the Nutrition OPD offers expert evaluation, guidance, and customized diet planning for children of all age groups.

Nutrition plays a vital role in every stage of a child’s life — from infancy to teenage years. Whether your child is underweight, overweight, a picky eater, or facing nutritional deficiencies, Dr. Ramprakash provides evidence-based, practical solutions tailored to your child’s specific needs.

Key features of the Nutrition OPD:

  • Nutritional assessments using growth charts and dietary histories

  • Customized diet plans for underweight or overweight children

  • Guidance for infants transitioning from breastfeeding to solids

  • Counseling for picky eaters and food aversions

  • Nutrition support for children with chronic illnesses

  • Diet planning for children with food allergies or intolerances

  • Advice on balanced meals, supplements, and healthy eating habits

With childhood obesity and malnutrition becoming common challenges, the Nutrition OPD is an essential resource for parents looking to raise healthy and active children. Dr. Ramprakash believes in involving both children and parents in the process, making nutrition education engaging and easy to follow.

Our clinic also plays a crucial role in supporting children with conditions like celiac disease, lactose intolerance, or iron and vitamin deficiencies. We track progress over time and make adjustments to diet plans as children grow.

The Nutrition OPD is designed to offer personalized care in a warm and welcoming setting. With patience and clarity, Dr. Ramprakash helps parents make informed choices about their child’s nutrition, busting common myths and focusing on long-term wellness.
