Managing Picky Eating in Kids
from Little Health: A Cleveland Clinic Children’s Podcast · host Cleveland Clinic Children’s
Are you wondering if your little one is a typical picky eater or if something more serious is happening? This episode explains the difference between normal food fussiness and a serious issue called a Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD). We share the main signs of PFD, like a child eating less than 20 foods in total or not eating any fruits, vegetables, or proteins. We also discuss why early help is important, why parents need to offer a new food 10 to 15 times, and how to make dinner time fun and relaxed instead of a fight.
