Pediatric Nutrition Nutritionists and Dietitians

What does a pediatric dietitian do?

Pediatric dietitians work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, specializing in helping children meet their nutritional needs in the context of acute and chronic conditions. Many pediatric dietitians focus on children with feeding difficulties or obesity. Some also have expertise in specific diet-related conditions, such as eating disorders or gastrointestinal diseases, where they use nutrition to alleviate symptoms or support recovery. Additionally, pediatric dietitians often serve on care teams for medically complex patients, such as children with cancer, ensuring they meet their dietary requirements and reduce the risk of malnutrition.

What should I look for in a pediatric dietitian?

When searching for a pediatric dietitian, it's important to consider several key factors to ensure you find a professional who is well-suited to address the unique nutritional needs of children. It's important to first verify that the dietitian is a Registered Dietitian (RD), as this certification ensures the professional has met specific academic and professional standards. Additionally, it's essential to look for a dietitian who has specific experience working with children, as their nutritional needs can differ significantly from those of adults. A good pediatric dietitian should also be willing to work closely with families and, if necessary, other members of the child's medical care team to ensure coordinated care for the child. Finally, families should consider the session types offered by a dietitian, such as in-person versus telehealth appointments. While many adults may find telehealth convenient, it may not be the best option for some children, depending on their age and specific needs.

What does a visit with a pediatric dietitian entail?

Visits with pediatric dietitians can vary widely depending on the needs of the child. In general, when starting working with a new client, dietitians will conduct a nutritional assessment, which involves obtaining the patient's medical and nutritional history, as well as the child's current symptoms and reason for getting nutrition services. In ongoing sessions, pediatric dietitians will work with children and their families to develop a nutrition plan that effectively manages the child's symptoms. This can include the recommendation of recipes for balanced meals, strategies for managing picky eating or food intolerances, and/or making adjustments to the plan to support client weight-related goals.
