Proposed algorithm to guide practitioners on when to refer for feeding difficulties.

aPersistent feeding difficulty is defined as a feeding issue in which the child becomes more selective or restricted, growth may become compromised, and there are high levels of stress around eating in the home.

bTransient feeding difficulty is defined as a change in the child’s eating pattern that lasts a short period and therefore does not threaten nutritional status and the child is able to bring himself/herself along to a wider eating pattern with proper support from parents.
