Our Program
The Nutrition program at Children’s Hospital provides dietary consultation services for infant, children and adolescent patients and their families in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
We develop appropriate nutrition plans for patients who suffer from a variety of disorders.
We treat healthy, growing children as well as those being seen at Children's for acute or chronic illnesses or conditions.
Our program is for anyone who has concerns and questions about their child's diet, feedings, foods, their child's growth, special diets and healthy eating.
Our Team
Our program offers a multidisciplinary team approach, with staff experienced in a variety of highly specialized diagnostic and treatment areas:
Role of Team Members
- Each Paediatric Dietician is registered dietitian (RD) with a university degree in clinical nutrition and a member of the College of Dietitians of Ontario and the Dietitians of Canada.
- The RD provides nutrition support for acute and chronic illness, and ongoing nutrition education to caregivers and patients for normal growth and development.
- The dietitian can assess, treat and prevent disease/physical conditions using food, vitamin/mineral supplements, and/or nutrition support.
- The RD provides dietary advice and information to patients and families with conditions, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Celiac's disease and constipation, and also address the nutrition issues of our transplant recipients.
