Picky Eating
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The term picky eater describes children with very selective eating, who reject many foods, accept only a few textures or flavors, and show resistance to trying new foods. It is a common behavior in childhood that sometimes causes concern in families.
Signs often observed: persistent rejection of vegetables or certain textures, prolonged meals, and little variety in the diet.
When is it a good idea to consult? If the selectivity affects the child's growth, weight, or mood, or is accompanied by low energy.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician evaluates the child's development and nutrition; when there is associated digestive discomfort, the pediatric gastroenterologist may be added. Talking with these professionals helps to support feeding with peace of mind.
