How Do Pediatric Nutritionists Assess Nutritional Needs?
Pediatric nutritionists use various tools and methods to assess a neonate's nutritional status. They may conduct a thorough dietary assessment, review medical history, and utilize growth charts to evaluate weight, length, and head circumference. Laboratory tests can provide additional insights into nutrient deficiencies or metabolic issues. This comprehensive assessment helps in tailoring the nutritional plan to meet the specific needs of each infant.
