Feeding disorder of infancy and early childhood is not a diseased condition; instead it is a medical condition where the child fails to gain weight due to lack of nutrition. This condition may lead to poor nourishment and further problems in future due to it.

As already mentioned earlier, the condition of malnourishment appears due to lack of nourishment and not due to any underlying disease, such as cleft palate, congenital heart disease and long term lung disease or even mental retardation. This condition is generally seen in poor children and dysfunctional child-caregiver interactions and even in case of parental misinformation about how to feed their child with healthy food.

A regular visit to your pediatrician may be needed for proper guidelines of the required and missing nutrition. You will be getting the exact note on how and what to feed to your kid for proper nourishment.
