In this episode of Nutrition Pearls: the Podcast, co-hosts Bailey Koch and Nikki Misner speak with Rashelle Berry on nasogastric feeding tube placement and weaning enteral nutrition. Rashelle has been working at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta for over 16 years as a dietitian in the Marcus Autism Center’s feeding program. She previously served as the nutrition manager of the intensive feeding program. Currently, Rashelle’s clinical work is focused on infants and children with pediatric feeding disorders in both the outpatient clinical and rehab settings. She is especially passionate about weaning children from tube feedings. Rashelle also serves on the Georgia Board of Examiners for Licensed Dietitians and as a site reviewer for the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics.
