More than 1 in 37 children under age 5 in the United States have a pediatric feeding disorder. Today, I'm joined by Bri, a Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist and Certified Lactation Counselor, to explore the common feeding challenges families face. We'll discuss the four domains of a pediatric feeding disorder and how one or all could be affecting a child's feeding skill. We also explain how to address gagging when introducing complementary foods and offer practical strategies for incorporating pre-feeding skills. We walk through infant feeding issues through toddlerhood and provide you with actionable solutions you can suggest to your patient to support children with feeding aversions.
