Dr Shruti Nathwani

Dr Shruti Nathwani is a board certified Paediatric doctor who strives to bridge the gap between parents and clinicians. She uses her Paediatric knowledge and experience as a mum to create content that parents can not only learn from but relate to.

When you’re at home and unsure whether to take your child to the GP or Paediatric A+E there should be more guidance. The internet can be a useful place when used sensibly but contains a lot of information which parents often find difficult to contextualise and filter. The Children’s Medic is a place to access simplified evidence based guidance surrounding infant and child health from a credible source.

Dr Nathwani offers practical advice and tips around various stages including weaning and potty training. She tackles complicated subjects such as reflux and CMPA (cow’s milk protein allergy) and aims to keep her followers up to date with new research. Whether your
child is 1 month old or 1 year there is something to find on her page.

Being a mother herself, she knows just how tough the parenting journey is now more than ever. She is passionate about maternal and paternal mental health which directly links to the wellbeing of your child. If someone can offer simplified, relevant information in bite size pieces when you’re sleep deprived then you’re onto a winner.

Let’s make parenting that little bit easier by nurturing, nourishing and educating our parents.
