Treatments

Paediatric dietitians

Aside from educating children, their parents and caregivers about the importance of proper nutrition during childhood, paediatric dietitians also design treatment plans and nutritional programs for children ranging from one month old to 18 years old. They are the dietitians you should consult if your child has a food allergy or intolerance, eating disorder or other medical conditions linked to their diet, like childhood obesity and type 1 diabetes. They work closely with paediatricians and other specialists including occupational therapists and speech therapists, in the case of children with feeding difficulties or special needs. Paediatric dietitians can be found in schools, hospitals, clinics, health-related organisations and government agencies that focus on children’s health and nutrition.

Gerontological dietitians

Gerontological dietitians are the experts in the dietary needs and nutrition of the elderly. You’re bound to find one in hospitals, nursing homes, community health centres, and government and private agencies catering to the aging population. Their primary duty is to plan and develop healthy menus for their elderly clients, including those who may have aging-related illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes, find it difficult to swallow foods, and are recovering from surgery. They also educate their clients and their caregivers about healthy eating habits to ensure their clients’ nutritional needs are being met.

Neonatal dietitians

Neonatal dietitians deliver medical nutrition therapy for newborns—infants less than four weeks old—who are born prematurely or with critical illness. Together with other members of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit team, neonatal dietitians provide clinical assessments of their patients, advocate for breastfeeding, develop breastfeeding guidelines, draw up systematic plans for tube feedings and intravenous feedings, create health protocols and supervise the delivery, handling and storage of neonatal nutritional products. You can find neonatal dietitians in hospitals, children’s clinics and other healthcare facilities with NICUs.
