Pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionists at Your Service
Infants, children and teens all have unique nutritional needs as they grow into adulthood. When medical complications exist, adequate growth is still a primary concern. At Cincinnati Children’s, your child will receive individualized attention from our staff of nutrition professionals to assure that growth and nutritional well-being are sustained.
Our registered dietitians, registered dietetic technicians, certified lactation consultants and support staff have specialized training in pediatric nutrition for normal growth and development and therapeutic needs. Additionally, they practice family-centered care, taking into account the family’s community setting and culture and how family members interact with nutrition and health.
