At Children’s, we know how to assess and treat each child’s specific nutrition needs. During our initial, thorough nutrition assessment, we review your child’s growth history, feeding history, lab results and medications. If nutrition risks are identified, our dietitian manages your child’s clinical nutrition needs throughout the duration of his or her inpatient stay. Children who visit our outpatient clinics also receive comprehensive nutrition assessments, treatment and follow-up.
Our team of clinical dietitians use evidence based approaches to nutrition therapy and work hard to stay up to date on the latest nutrition research. We collaborate with providers, other disciplines, patients and families to create nutrition plans that keep our kids health, growth and development top priority. All of our dietitians are registered with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and licensed with the State of Minnesota.
