How Often Should Nutritional Assessments Be Conducted?
The frequency of nutritional assessments depends on various factors, including the child's age, health status, and any underlying conditions. Generally, routine assessments are recommended during well-child visits, which typically occur:
At birth Within the first week of life At 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months Annually from age 2 to adolescence
However, children with specific health conditions or those at risk of nutritional deficiencies may require more frequent assessments.
