Objective: As diagnoses covering dysfunctional feeding and eating in pediatrics, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) contain inherent areas of overlap in their diagnostic criteria. Areas of overlap include criteria regarding nutritional consequences associated with feeding/eating dysfunction and shared emphasis on possible psychosocial impairment associated with restricted food intake. Complicating the differential diagnosis process is a lack of guidance regarding when the two conditions occur independently, co-qualify, and/or transition into the other.

- * Researchers used community input, conducted focus groups, and gathered feedback from experts to develop a 91-item tool.
- * The final measure will help understand the impacts of food allergies on families with children aged two to twelve years, emphasizing the importance of caregiver perspectives.
Background: Although intensive multidisciplinary interventions (IMIs) provide benefits for patients with pediatric feeding disorders (PFD), access to these programs is limited and challenges faced by the programs remain unclear.
Objective: To better understand the barriers faced by existing day programs that provide IMI, disparities in patient care, and areas for improvement to better inform policy and improve access to treatment for PFD.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a leader of outpatient programs providing IMI in the United States.
Alterations in Child Feeding Behavior: An Underrecognized Clinical Complication of Food Allergy.

Background: Food allergy (FA) affects around 5.6 million children in the United States, conferring risk for negative impacts on growth and psychosocial functioning. While evidence suggests a higher prevalence of feeding difficulties in children with FA, the link between FA and feeding dysfunction remains unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Infants with developmental risk factors are more likely to have feeding problems and develop chronic feeding disorders. Early detection and understanding of the progression of problematic feeding and its relationship with a child's biological functioning and the family feeding environment will enhance effective symptom management and development of interventions to prevent pediatric feeding disorders.
Objectives: The New Through Two (NewThru2) feeding study protocol is described.
