Nutrition Counseling

Quality nutrition plays an essential role in the health and well-being of children and families.  What we eat directly effects our quality of life from birth, throughout childhood and beyond.  Adequate nutrition is necessary to fuel children’s bodies, optimizing growth, brain development, attention span and behavior.

Reasons for you and your child to see a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, RDN…

  • Eating only a few different foods or food groups
  • Aspects of daily life are affected by eating and food choices
  • Rapid or unexpected weight gain or loss
  • Falling off their growth curve
  • Avoiding food at school or daycare
  • Have gastrointestinal problems
  • Have a chronic disease such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease
  • Introducing foods or infant feeding
  • Support for healthy eating when going to college or playing sports

How we help…

Our nutrition services are provided by a RDN who provides counseling to families of children with a wide range of nutritional and feeding challenges. Our Dietitian also works closely as part of a multi-disciplinary feeding team to help optimize food intake and foster a balanced diet.  The Dietitian will work with you and your child to set realistic and achievable goals in addition working with your child’s doctors and other healthcare professionals to ensure you are receiving the highest level of care and support needed to help maximize your child’s progress.
