Tube Weaning: Strategies for Success
A review of the evidence as well as practical strategies for helping children wean off tube feeds.
Sarah Howe McKenna, RD
Sarah is a registered dietitian in Calgary, AB. She went to McGill University in Montreal,
QC and worked in Montreal and California for a couple of years before returning home
to Alberta to be closer to her family. She has worked in a variety of different settings,
including an adult hospital in Montreal and the WIC program in Salinas, CA, before
deciding to focus exclusively on pediatrics. She began work at the Alberta Children's
Hospital in 2005 as a clinical dietitian and worked in a variety of areas such as short
bowel syndrome, cardiology, general pediatrics, gastroenterology and the NICU. In
2019, she left clinical practice to work as a manager of dietitians. She enjoyed
leadership but missed working directly with patients so, in 2022, she obtained her
current position as a team lead for the outpatient dietitians at the Alberta Children's
Hospital. She has a private practice, Howe Nutritious, where she helps people find joy
in feeding and eating and is a faculty member of the Ellyn Satter Institute.
