Pediatric Feeding Problems

If you are concerned that your child isn’t eating properly or getting the proper nutrients in their diet, it’s important to consult your primary care physician or specialist because of the impacts that such problems can have on a child’s physical and brain development. Feeding problems in children are fairly common and may be tied to food sensitivities, medication side effects, behavioral disorders such as ADHD and autism, acid reflux, gastrointestinal conditions such as short gut reflux, a neurological issue or a structural problem within the digestive system. Effective treatment options may include anti-reflux medications, modified feeding techniques, and surgical interventions.
