Nutrition in Complex Care: Medical Webinar

When your child has feeding challenges or is tube fed, you want to be sure they’re getting the nutrition they need. But how do you know if you're on the right track? 

In this webinar, Ash from Nourish Paediatrics will unpack how a paediatric dietitian can support your child’s nutritional needs, helping you feel more confident in supporting their growth and development. 

We’ll cover 

• What a paediatric dietitian does and how they support children with feeding and nutrition needs 

• What to expect during a typical dietitian appointment 

• How to prepare for appointments and what information to bring 

• Practical, evidence-based tips to support your child’s nutrition at home
