Pediatric nutrition is a branch of nutrition that focuses on the dietary needs of infants, children, and adolescents. It involves studying the nutrients required for optimal growth and development during the different stages of childhood, as well as addressing any specific nutritional needs or concerns that may arise during this period. Pediatric nutritionists work with healthcare professionals, parents, and caregivers to ensure that children are receiving the proper balance of nutrients from their diets to support their physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Research in pediatric nutrition may include studies on breastfeeding, infant formula, childhood obesity prevention, food allergies, and nutritional deficiencies. Overall, the goal of pediatric nutrition research is to promote healthy eating habits and prevent health issues in children.
