Feeding matters; parents often complain about their child's picky eating habits. We start to wonder if we’re doing something wrong, if our child is a picky eater, or if there’s more to this ordeal. Today, my guest sheds light on a little-known eating disorder that is way more prevalent than we imagine. What We Talked About: Understanding Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) and how it differs from picky eating. The Four Domains in Pediatric Feeding Disorder  How should you proceed if you suspect our child has PFD?  Early awareness of PFD and its impact on long-term health outcomes Why is almost no one talking about PFD, even though it is more common than autism or cerebral palsy?
