Ms. Ananya Sen
MSc Food & Nutrition | Clinical Pediatric Dietitian
Ms. Ananya Sen is our senior clinical nutritionist, specializing in childhood eating behaviors, infant weaning, growth charts, and teen metabolism management. Supervised by Dr. Jyothirmayi, Ms. Ananya creates evidence-based, child-approved dietary regimes that ensure children receive full macro and micronutrient requirements during key development years.
Ms. Ananya utilizes a non-restrictive, positive feeding model. She focuses on helping parents understand developmental food anxieties (like toddler neophobia) and designs practical meal charts that replace mealtime battles with healthy habits.
Customized Diet Charts
We build individual food charts targeting weight lag, pediatric obesity, vitamin deficiency indicators, and specific food allergies.
Picky Eating Solutions
We work with parents to address sensory feeding sensitivities, screen-time eating habits, and meal anxiety through positive exposure plans.
WHO Growth Analytics
Continuous monitoring of weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI percentiles to verify healthy development tracking patterns.
Clinical Nutrition Philosophy
At Cherish Clinic, child nutrition is handled scientifically. We support Ellyn Satter's **Division of Responsibility in Feeding**:
• The Parent's Job: To decide what food is offered, when it is served, and where.
• The Child's Job: To decide whether they will eat, and how much they will consume.
By removing force-feeding and stress during meal times, children naturally learn to check internal hunger and fullness signals, preventing metabolic issues and picky eating triggers later in development.
