Diploma in Child Nutrition

Pregnancy

In this lesson the basics of nutrition are explored with a detailed examination of the food pyramid and food groups. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of food portion and nutritional requirements during pregnancy.

Breast Feeding/Bottle Feeding

In this lesson the merits for and against both headings are explored in detail so that the student will be fully informed. The ultimate choices depend on both personal preferences and the material facts and this module allows for those decisions.

Feeding Issues

Feeding issues can create many sleepless nights and heartache for both parent and child. Often times the underlying causes can be readily identified and overcome. This lesson explores many of the most frequent causes such as Colic, Reflux, Constipation and Hungry Baby.

Weaning 6-12 Months

This stage for many parents is untraveled territory, and even if previously travelled, it can be problematic. This lesson focuses on attempting to ensure this period is the joyous time it is supposed to be rather than the opposite.

Toddler Diet 1-5 Years

With child obesity and dietary health problems at all-time highs this heading is absolutely crucial. During this lesson the student explores headings such as Healthy Eating and Food Groups, Food Portions, Physical Activity and Drinks & Snacks.

Toddler Diet 5-12 Years

This lesson is very much a continuation of lesson 5 though specific to the ages of 5-12 where temptations can increase and dietary matters can come the fore.

Weight Management

The final lesson ensures you understand all core topics and is exclusively focussed on applying those principles in a healthy, maintainable manner long term. We explore areas such as obesity, portion control, anthropometrics, reward systems and we provide many practical tips.
