What do paediatric dietitians help with?

The job of a paediatric dietitian is to see to it that babies, children and teenagers are served a balanced diet. Paediatric dietitians are to be approached by families when their children are in need of special diets that ensure proper and healthy nutrition for the treatment of allergies or ailments like cancer. Such dietitians should also be approached by parents whose kids are fussy about eating.

Who do paediatric dietitians help?

Paediatric dietitians are to help children of all age groups, right from babies (even premature) to teenagers with their nutritional needs. They are especially helpful for children with growth problems including those who face difficulties when eating. There are children with special dietary needs whom paediatric dietitians can help as well.

How do paediatric dietitians work?

Paediatric dietitians work in a team. They make valuable contributions regarding a child’s nutrition in a team that will include doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, speech and occupational therapists, hospital cooks, and many others who contribute in their own significant ways. Please bear in mind that not all teams include the same members. The members are decided by the specific needs of the child.

The paediatric dietitian ensures that not only does the child receive the food but also that the child receives feeding help so that it’s ensured that the child is in its best health condition possible. They are also to guide the parents or the guardians on how it can be ensured that the children are served the best food for balanced nutrition.

It’s the job of the paediatric dietitian to make an assessment of what food your child needs, his/her medical and feeding condition, and the circumstances of the parents and the guardians as well. Once that’s done, the dietitian starts working with the parents/guardians and the others in the team on the kind of nutrition, food and feeding help the child is in need of.
