Feeding Disorder
What is a feeding disorder?
Feeding disorder refers to a condition in which an infant or child is unable or refuses to eat, or has difficulty eating, which can result in frequent illnesses and failure to grow normally.
Some common types of feeding disorders in children include adipsia, which is the absence of thirst or the desire to drink; dysphagia, a real or imagined difficulty in swallowing; food refusal; inability to self-feed; taking too long to eat; choking, gagging, or vomiting when eating; inappropriate mealtime behavior; and picky eating according to food type and texture.
