PEDIATRIC NUTRITION APPOINTMENTS
Nutrition and growth from birth to age two.
Does your family have concerns around optimal infant nutrition? Whether your baby is a proud NICU graduate, a full-termer experiencing growth or allergy issues, or you simply have questions about safe formula feeding, get specialized help via telemedicine.
What is an infant pediatric nutrition consultation?
The goal of an infant nutrition consultation is to address issues associated with your baby’s diet and growth. A specialized Registered Dietitian (RD) will carefully assess your baby’s needs to provide a personalized nutrition plan.

What’s a specialized Registered Dietitian?
Your Breastfeeding Success consultant is a specialized Registered Dietitian (RD) who works in concert with in-hospital RDs, neonatologists, and pediatricians to care for infant nutrition. Our RDs are neonatal specialists with expertise in optimal infant feeding from birth to age two.
How long is a consult?
Infant nutrition consultations are offered via telemed, and last about 45 minutes. In most cases, your consultation will be upon referral from your in-hospital RD, neonatologist, or pediatrician. To assess your baby’s nutritional needs, our RD will request medical history information from your baby’s pediatrician. You may need to provide consent to release these details. During the appointment, you will be asked to provide:
• Medical diagnoses (if any)
• A list of medications, supplements, allergies
• Your baby’s current weight and length as well as any growth charts
• Feeding logs from two recent days
What do I get from my appointment?
You’ll get a personalized nutritional plan including evidence-based recommendations to meet your baby’s feeding needs, as well as follow-up care by phone. Follow-ups take 30 minutes and will be scheduled as needed after your initial consultation.
What will infant nutrition care cost?
Infant nutrition care is a covered benefit many parents don’t realize they have. Breastfeeding Success services are in-network with all major insurers. Check if your insurance is listed here.
