Most feeding problems occur when the child is introduced to new food with an unfamiliar taste, texture, smell, temperature or appearance. The diet of many toddlers consists of too few fruits and vegetables and too much high fat and sugary food.
Children who watch a lot of television tend to view fast food more positively, and are more likely to have an unhealthy diet because of exposure to food advertisement. n Persistent feeding problems in young children can be improved through individualized pediatric treatment which can have a positive effect on physical and mental health.
