Christa, Advisory Nutritionist

Christa Riekert Advisory Nutritionist

I learned from my own pregnancy that there are so many questions and answers to understand before and after the actual birth. My own training, especially in the field of dietetics, helped me to understand the changing nutritional needs of mum and baby. It is sharing my knowledge through this position that makes my advisory role so special.

Experience

One of the most wonderful things about having a baby is how they change a couple into a family. So when mums and dads are uncertain about questions that they might have about their baby, it inspires me to be able to help them by listening, and sharing my knowledge. It really makes my day when I know I have helped to make a difference.

Among the most frequent questions I am asked by mothers are those relating to recommendations on diet and how to respond to baby's feeding patterns. I reassure mums that they can and should trust and follow their instincts, but that it’s also important to seek qualified advice about any uncertainties.


Some Useful Tips
  • Trust your instincts, but remember to seek help when you are unsure

  • Enjoy the small details of preparing for your baby’s arrival

  • Try to stay relaxed, babies react immediately when they feel their mother’s stress
