Overview
Pediatric feeding disorders have been defined as an inability to consume orally adequate amount of nutrients in a quality and manner that are appropriate for a child´s developmental stage. Clinically they become manifest as food refusal, disorders of sucking, chewing and swallowing, or as behavioral problems during mealtimes. In chronically ill and neurologically impaired children they contribute to malnutrition, growth retardation and chronic dehydration with constipation. Aspiration during mealtimes can be a life threatening complication.
Pediatric feeding disorders are classified as sensory, oral motor, behavioral and complex. Primary pediatricians have a key role in early identification of children with increased risk of feeding problems, their diagnosis, and prevention of complications and initiation of therapy. The main goal is to achieve feeding that is safe (with minimal risk of aspiration), effective (with sufficient intake of nutrients in a reasonable time frame) and pleasurable for a child and caregivers.
Key words:
pediatric feeding disorders, dysphagia, aspiration, malnutrition
