e are a group of parents that realize when mealtimes aren?t going well for infants and young children, it is cause for concern and very stressful for families. Mealtimes should be opportunities for bonding and should foster positive relationships between children and their families. Most people believe eating is instinctual; however, that is only true for the first month of life. For some infants and children, feeding is a painful, not pleasurable experience. The smell, taste, texture, and even presence of food may cause anxiety, food selectivity or food refusal. Often, this is expressed through head turning, gagging, choking, coughing, or vomiting. In extreme cases, some children struggling to eat may need feeding tubes to provide or supplement their daily nutritional needs.
No Parent Should Feel Alone. Through our own experiences, we understand that feeding influences every aspect of a child?s overall well-being: social, emotional, mental, and physical. Parents need a transdisciplinary team of medical professionals who will collaborate to maximize a child?s eating potential and will provide support for the family as a whole.
