How often will my child need to see a Dietician?
Some children may only need one appointment with the Dietician, with or without future
follow up by another health care professional. Other health care professionals can contact
the Paediatric Dietician at any time for advice.
Some children may have an initial appointment with 1 - 4 follow up appointments depending
on their condition.
Some children are not able to eat orally at all, and are dependent on special tube feeds for
their nutrition. These children require regular, long-term follow up.
