ABSTRACT

Infants and children with intestinal failure are at risk for pediatric feeding disorders, which challenge their oral feeding development. This article explores these challenges and offers several practical strategies that can be used by multidisciplinary care teams and at-home caregivers to help support the development of oral feeding in these children and eventually lead to their attaining enteral autonomy.
