Specializes in Pediatrics

See Nutritionist: His pediatrician should recommend a good nutritionist for him. A BMI of less than 18 is considered underweight. A nutritionist can assess his needs, evaluate his current diet, and suggest what he can do to add additional calories and nutrients to his diet. His height is primarily decided by his genes, so his height will depend on the parents' height.
