Abstract
Interview data from parents of 201 children under age 7 years with severe feeding and eating difficulties were analysed to describe features in the child's and parents' experiences that may have contributed to the development of the eating problem. Prematurity and low birth weight, distress during feeding in the first six months of life, and regular or frequent vomiting were common findings in the histories of the children. Aversive experiences during feeding may be the basis for early childhood eating difficulties.

Archives of Disease in ChildhoodNon-organic failure to thrive: a reappraisal.
122 Citations1985David Skuse
A critical reappraisal of the evidence suggests a more balanced view of the mother-child relationship should be taken, and an emphasis on parental culpability in the aetiology of non-organic failure to thrive, in the absence of direct evidence of neglect, is wrong.

Results showed that psychosocial functioning differed across FD classifications, which supports the need for more detailed classification than an organic-nonorganic dichotomy used in prior research.

It is proposed that non-organic failure to thrive (FTT) is a growth failure secondary to feeding-skills disorder, and that this disorder is neurophysiological in origin.

98 Citations1990Susan Bazyk
Medical factors associated with the length of transition to complete oral feeding were identified through correlational and multiple regression analyses and may assist occupational therapists in earlier identification of and intervention for infants fed by nasogastric tubes who are at risk for later oral feeding problems and a longer transition from nasogASTric tube to oral feeding.

This book covers a series of diverse topics in which the editors feel there have been rapid changes in clinical and scientific areas of paediatrics, ranging from the more esoteric 'dietary influences on neurotransmission' to the more down to earth 'a fetoprotein screening'.

BMJEating habits and attitudes among mothers of children with feeding disorders
47 Citations1995Alan Stein, Jürgen M. Stein +2 more
There has been no published research examining whether feeding disturbances of clinical severity in children are related to abnormal eating habits and attitudes among their mothers—though there is evidence that parents with eating disorders can adversely influence their young children's development, including feeding.

Eight infants initiated chronic peritoneal dialysis and received nasogastric tube feedings during their first month of life because of poor oral intake and the desire to avert the development of an aversive feeding interaction between parent and child.

33 Citations1987James A. Blackman, Christy Nelson
Eleven patients on prolonged tube feedings were introduced to oral feedings in a 2− to 3-week in-patient feeding program with minimal disruption of family life and parental anxiety, and all but one patient successfully made the transition to full oral feeding.

A combined paediatric and child psychiatric approach excluded organic disease but revealed different psychosocial stress factors such as insecure parental childhood, immigrant parents, father absent or inadequate, alcoholism, psychiatric, or marital problems in the parents, and somatic or child psychiatric disease among siblings.

Among failure-to-thrive children, the presence of both acute and chronic malnutrition was associated with heightened negative affect during feeding, whereas the degree of organic contribution had no effect.
