Treatment of malnutrition
If you or someone you care for show any signs of malnutrition then consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible. In the meantime there are a few things you can do to try and slow any further weight loss:
- eat “little and often” by having small snacks in between meals
- avoid “diet” or “low calorie” options
- choose simple meals and snacks to make eating as easy as possible
- keep a stock of your favourite high calorie foods within easy reach. This can include a small sandwich, thick and creamy yogurts, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, cheese and crackers
These are short term suggestions and should not replace a consultation with a healthcare professional.
Please note that people with certain medical conditions may need to discuss any changes in diet with a healthcare professional.

When it comes to feeding your baby, breast milk is best and provides many benefits. It is recommended for as long as possible during infancy. If you choose to breastfeed, it is important that you eat a healthy, balanced diet. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse, and combined breast and bottle feeding may reduce the supply of your own breastmilk.
If you are thinking about bottle feeding, please seek advice from a healthcare professional, and consider the social and financial implications of using an infant milk. If you do choose to use an infant formula, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use very carefully, as failure to do so could make your baby ill.
