Can anyone recommend a paediatric dietician?

[RainbowBrite]

My littlest man has had some severe weight issues and we have been under a pead and dietician at PMH.
But I am not happy with the dietician that we have. She does his reveiws over the phone and must not even read his notes before speaking to us.
She wants us to start to wean of pediasure onto cows milk...which I am not happy with as it has help him to have better gains.
I think she just wants to get him of the books as they are so busy.
He is now 15 months and just on 6kg...he really does not have any weight to lose.
So I would like to get a 2nd opinion from a private paediatric dietician and would like to here your recommendations and how they helped you.
TIA

talk to your MHN and ask her if she knows of one. Olso talk to your pead and ask if there is another one in the area. Reviews over the phone don't have any value as they don't see the child. If you think the formula is helping then stick with it as cows milk will not give the extra nutrition needed.

Is he eating much in the way of solids? If he is a small eater just keep food handy so he can eat good food all day. Some kids at that age eat better all day than having structured meals.

I don't see my pead again until April...I would like to see a dietician before then as I am just about out of pediasure and it is only available on food prescription. It has 4 times as many calories then normal formula.

He does eat but doesn't gain...he naturally has weaned himself of one bottle a day of pediasure and lost 60g. He has a few issues...malabsorbtion due to NEC and bowel perforation when he was tiny, possible messed up metabolism from all his problems, reflux.

Thank you very much! She has offices in Edgewater I found also.
Did you need a prescription from your GP to see her?
