Who should you see before feeding therapy?

If your child eats only a few foods, the first stop is the doctor, before anyone starts a feeding program.

This is a recorded discussion for professionals, shared to help you ask good questions. It's not a feeding plan, and your child's doctor comes first.

In this clip from a recorded Special Learning session, the speaker explains why: a medical problem you can't see may be making eating harder, and it needs to be treated first. The treatment team keeps an eye on whether your child is getting enough to eat through the day. And you, as the parent, should know what an intervention will look like and what happens if it isn't working, before you agree to it.
