Understanding Feeding Disorders in Toddlers
Feeding disorders in toddlers can manifest through behaviors such as refusing solid foods and relying heavily on milk from a bottle, often leading to nutritional concerns like obesity or iron deficiency. The primary approach involves assessing factors that contribute to these feeding issues, including oral motor function and swallowing safety, as well as addressing any underlying medical concerns. For instance, transitioning to lower-calorie beverages like Pediashore sidekicks may help improve nutritional intake while slowly reducing bottle dependency. Establishing a structured feeding routine and limiting access to favored foods is crucial for motivating the child to try new options and support healthier eating habits.
