Nutrition for Children

Starting at birth and continuing through their teen years, children need specific nutrients at each stage to help them grow healthy and strong. Health habits established in childhood can last a lifetime. You can easily find nutrition advice in the media and on the internet, but how do you know if it’s safe and accurate?

Qualified pediatric registered dietitian nutritionists in the Sutter Health network can help you navigate all the information. Pediatric RDNs log many years of formal education and training to become professionals in child and family nutrition.

We recognize that children aren’t simply small adults. Our team of compassionate, highly educated registered dietitian nutritionists provide children with comprehensive nutritional care that’s friendly, reassuring, accurate and age-appropriate.

Because children change so rapidly and many factors can affect their development, our dietitians and care teams value developing a comfortable, trusting relationship with parents and kids. We can partner with you every step of the way, helping to ensure children reach their full potential.
