Children's Dietitian
Northern Ireland
Supporting parents of babies on their weaning journey, helping with toddler eating habits and making food fun for children of all ages.
Advice, support and a listening ear from children's Dietitian Dr. Kirsty Porter
Nutrition4Kids was founded by NHS Paediatric Dietitian Dr. Kirsty Porter in 2019. She has over ten years experience working with families in a hospital setting and previously worked as an assistant University Professor in England.
Kirsty has a genuine passion for helping children to form a positive relationship with food and takes great joy in supporting parents on a challenging journey. Her inspiration for starting Nutrition4Kids is the vast amount of misleading information online about infant & children's nutrition.
As a first time mum I was very confused and overwhelmed at the thought of weaning. It seemed everything I read said different stuff. My daughter has a cows milk allergy and bad reflux so I didn’t really know where to begin. I did Kirsty’s work shop and it was brilliant. She is so passionate about helping parents on this journey. She went through everything in detail and I left the worship feeling confident and excited to start. We began weaning today and used lots of the tips and advice Kirsty taught us to help create a good foundation. Eliza loved it and it definitely took the stress out of it for me.
