This revised 3rd edition of the Twin Cities District Dietetic Association (TCDDA) Manual of Pediatric Nutrition is the result of a cooperative effort on the part of the pediatric dietitians from the major children's hospitals, pediatric units, and public health agencies serving children in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. This joint effort was undertaken with the belief that a single manual, written by dietitians with experience and expertise in various areas of pediatrics, would promote continuity in the nutritional care of the pediatric population in the Twin Cities. Topics include General Nutrition, Nutrition Assessment, Consistency Modifications, Diabetes, Weight Management, Nutrition for Children with Special Health Care Needs, and many more.
