Good Shepherd Rehabilitation’s physician-led feeding teams assess and care for medically fragile newborns and children who have feeding and/or swallowing difficulties preventing them from meeting their nutritional needs.
Good Shepherd offers pediatric feeding therapy at inpatient and outpatient settings throughout eastern Pennsylvania.
When a child refuses to eat, it can be distressing for a parent. Some fussiness around mealtime is normal for any infant or toddler, but it should disappear over time.
When fussiness or eating difficulties last months or years, there may be a medical or behavioral problem at the root of their symptoms.
Children can struggle with eating or drinking, or they weigh less or gain weight at a slower rate than is typical for their age.
At Good Shepherd, we provide services to help children and parents who are struggling with eating or drinking, weighing less or gaining weight slow than typical for their age or ready to transition from tube feeding to eating by mouth.
