Hannah Whittaker
Expert dietitian for children with food allergy
A little bit about me
Hello! I’m Hannah, an Expert Dietitian, specialising in Food Allergy in Children.
When I’m not being a mum, running, or walking my two pugs, I’m supporting and empowering parents just like you by providing down-to-earth and easy-to-follow, evidence based allergy advice.
My Story
My passion for nutrition and dietetics started in 2006, but becoming a registered dietitian took me a little longer than most as I had both my daughters during my studies.
I became a fully qualified dietitian in 2016, and while I might have taken a longer route than most to get here, it was my experience of pregnancy, and the feeding problems I faced afterwards with my daughters, that led me to specialise as a paediatric dietitian.
After graduating, I worked full time for the NHS. These years of experience gave me an amazing foundation of knowledge on top of my first-class degree in nutrition and my second degree in dietetics.
However, from my own experience during pregnancy and of being a new mum, I knew there was still a gap in the support offered to women going through what I had been through.
This is still the case today with NHS funding at an all time low and wait times at an all time high. So…
In 2021 I took the plunge and decided to fill that gap and start my own business and bump2baby Nutrition was born!
bump2baby Allergy Dietitian
Becoming a private dietitian has not only allowed me to follow my own path and develop my own areas of expertise in food allergy, but I can now offer mums around the world a more one-to-one, bespoke service to support their children with allergies.
During our consultation, I won’t be giving you any generic diet sheet and there won’t be any long waiting times. I have the flexibility to help you when you really need help, for as much or as little time as you need it.
Starting my own business has given me the freedom to do more of what I love, including media work.
Media Work
As a media dietitian both freelance and for the BDA (British Dietetic Association), I help to support the public to debunk myths and get the real evidence out there.
I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience through media outreach, 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’.
I regularly collaborate with other healthcare professionals as a pregnancy and pediatric dietitian through my Instagram page @bump2baby_nutrition – follow me to become part of my community!
