My child doesn't eat

"My child refuses to eat.” It's a phrase that paediatricians hear more and more often. It's a cry for help from desperate parents. Mind you, those children aren't just picky or fussy. They have a paediatric feeding problem. They aren't able to take in food the normal way. Fortunately, specialised services offer treatments that can often save lives. Eating is the most natural thing in the world. That's what one might think when all goes well. Yet, for some children, eating is very complicated.
