Pediatric Feeding Issues

Pediatric Feeding Therapy

If you're having trouble getting your child to eat what's on their plate every day, you might wonder what's wrong. Most parents are unaware that children are typically fussy eaters during their developmental years.

Children have an inclination to throw away food that they dislike. While it may be tempting to give in to your children's demands and feed them the unhealthy foods they enjoy, doing so might have a negative impact on their growth and development.

​

What will we do?

Using a variety of methods, feeding therapy teaches your kids how to eat healthier.

​

Some of the common feeding issues are 

• Persistent difficulty with feeding.

• Refusal to eat food (refusal behaviors).

• Difficulty with age-appropriate foods or textures.

• Pain or distress with feeding.

• Poor weight gain (failure to thrive).

• Bottle feeding only while the child is asleep.

• Family history of feeding disorders.

• Child can only eat small amounts.
