The Complex Feeding & Nutrition Clinic provides consultative services, including medical management, nutrition counseling and feeding therapy, to children with complex feeding and nutritional issues that are difficult to manage..

The Complex Feeding and Nutrition Service (CFNS) is a comprehensive interdisciplinary team that strives to anticipate and respond to the needs of infants and children whose complex feeding and nutritional issues cannot be addressed by their community. We are committed to enhancing the health and well-being of these infants and children, as well as their families, by providing excellent family-centered clinical care. We are a knowledgeable, skilled and caring team and we will provide nutrition and feeding education and support to health care providers within the organization as well as the community.

Your Visit:
During the visit, your child will be seen by the interdisciplinary team, comprised of a nurse, a pediatrician, a dietitian and, if required, an occupational therapist and a social worker.

Teaching and counseling will be provided according to your child's and family’s needs. Reports will be sent to the health care professionals involved in the child’s care.

If further investigation is required, your child may be referred to the appropriate service or for diagnostic studies (Upper GI, Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study, Endoscopy, etc.).

If your child has a feeding impairment, we may ask you to bring some food so that we can observe your child eat.
