pediatric feeding

Pediatric feeding involves the process of providing nutrition to infants and young children, including their ability to safely and effectively take in, swallow, and digest food. It encompasses a child's developing skills, such as sucking, swallowing, and chewing, as well as their willingness to eat. Proper feeding supports growth, development, and overall health. Challenges may arise from medical conditions, sensory sensitivities, or behavioral issues, requiring assessment and tailored interventions to ensure children receive adequate nourishment and develop positive eating habits.
