COMMON FEEDING PROBLEMS

INFOPARENTS.COM: Feeding problems manifested by picky or fussy eaters are quite common during the first few years of life. Because proper and well balanced nutrition is vital for normal growth and development, the fussy or picky eater is a real worry to parents.

Here are some of the common types of feeding problems that children between 2 and 6 years old often have.

  • not eating enough or at all
  • food jags in which the child becomes extremely picky, eating only certain foods and refusing most others
  • snacking all day long, without really having "meals" often ending meals in tantrums without having eaten much

    In many cases, the child doesn't truly even have an eating "problem". Instead, what often seems to the parent to be a problem may in fact be quite normal behaviour for their child's age.
