Evidence based advice
Helping mums feel empowered
Nutritional advice in books and on the internet changes constantly and often contradicts itself. It can be overwhelming when you’re trying to make decisions about nutrition not just for yourself, but for your little one as well. I can support you when you don’t know where to turn and your head is spinning with conflicting advice.
How can I help you?
I am an expert in CMPA and in vegan pregnancy and I have the knowledge and personal experience to support and empower you on your journey. Read on to find out how I can help you, or feel free to get in touch.
Expert in Vegan Nutrition
Do you have questions about veganism or plant-based pregnancy and meeting your nutritional requirements? Are you planning pregnancy and would like support to optimise your intake prior to conception?
I support vegan women throughout their pregnancy and ensure that their diets are nutritionally balanced and adapted to each stage. Yes, you can have a healthy pregnancy when following a vegan or plant based diet and I’m here to shout this from the rooftops and support you.
Once your little one is born I can also then support both you and your infant in the postnatal period all the way throught them preschool years
Support with CMPA (cows milk protein allergy)
Do you feel that no one is listening and your baby is showing all the symptoms of CMPA? Would you like support with diagnosis, guidance on how to support your baby with symptoms, and help with navigating weaning?
Your baby may have tested negative for CMPA, but they’re still experiencing symptoms and now you’re not sure where to turn.
If you feel that your baby has a milk allergy I’m here to support you. I am passionate about your baby getting the correct diagnosis and I will empower you to navigate your CMPA journey with ease.
Hannah Whittaker
Expert in Pregnancy and Childhood Nutrition
Not only am I a fully qualified and experienced dietitian, I’m also a mum of two! I have a combination of science-backed knowledge, and real-life, practical experience of raising little ones.
I’ve been where you are now. I understand the struggles of being a mum, and how difficult it can be to navigate all the information out there.
That’s why I’ll always provide you with practical, easy-to-follow guidelines for you and your baby. I’ll also empower you with the tools you need to know you’re making the best nutritional decisions going forward.
Media Work
I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience through media work, and I regularly write articles on pregnancy and childhood nutrition for various publications. I’ve also appeared on TV’s channel 5 as an advisory dietitian for the programme ‘Secrets Of Your Supermarket Food’.
Hannah was so warm and friendly to talk to. She is very knowledgeable about CMPA and was able to deliver all the science and evidence in an accessible way. She made us a simple day-to-day plan which has taken the guess work out of treating CMPA. She also sent recipes to follow. Would highly recommend!

Through pregnancy and beyond
Here for you
From planning and pregnancy, all the way to preschool, I’ll be here to make sure you and your little one are getting the best nutrition possible.
Pregnancy, weaning, and mealtime routines won’t always go smoothly, especially if you follow a vegan diet, or if your baby has a milk allergy.
You don’t have to go through this alone, with only Google as your guide. Having an expert who you can turn to can be a huge relief, and you can rest assured that you’re making the right nutritional decisions for yourself and your baby.
Flexible online appointments
I know that being a parent can be chaotic and stressful, which is why I offer my one-to-one consultations online for maximum flexibility.
As well as initial assessment appointments, I offer follow-ups that can be between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on whether you just need a quick chat, or more in depth advice.
I also have plenty of free resources you can access immediately, such as easy to follow recipes, weaning guides, and science-backed articles on the latest guidelines for pregnancy and childhood nutrition.
