Dr Shu Lin

Dr Shu Lin is currently on maternity leave.

I work with infants, toddlers, and adolescents so that they have the nutrition to grow optimally. Some children may have difficulty having the right nutrition for growth, and long term effects of over-eating and under-eating can have undesirable outcomes for them.

All children have different nutritional needs and I help families ensure that they are equipped with the necessary knowledge to make the right food choices for their families so that their children will grow well into their adulthood.

I understand that management of complex food allergies/food intolerances can often be difficult. I have helped various families to liberalise their diets to meet their child’s needs. This is important to prevent an over-restrictive diet that can lead to nutrient deficiencies or restrictive eating, and most importantly, to make food and eating enjoyable for the family.​”
