Pediatric Feeding Disorders

Pediatric Feeding Disorders refer to difficulties that children face with eating and drinking. These issues can include refusal to eat certain foods, limited food variety, and anxiety around mealtimes. Such disorders can lead to nutritional deficiencies and affect a child's growth and development. They may arise from various factors, including medical conditions, sensory sensitivities, or behavioral issues. Early intervention, which can involve therapists, dietitians, and supportive caregivers, is crucial for helping children overcome these challenges and establish healthy eating habits. Understanding and addressing these disorders is essential for the overall well-being of the child.
