Feeding Disorder of Infancy and Early Childhood
When a baby or young child repeatedly refuses food, is unable to eat adequately, or has trouble eating, we speak of a feeding disorder of infancy and early childhood.
It is a disturbance in eating behavior during the first years of life, which may be reflected in poor weight gain or irregular feeding patterns.
Signs to watch for: Persistent refusal of food, crying during meals, frequent spitting up, or slower-than-expected growth.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician guides the initial evaluation; depending on the case, the pediatric gastroenterologist, the nutritionist, or the allergist may collaborate. If you have concerns about your child's feeding, the most sensible thing is to discuss them with your trusted pediatrician.
