Abstract

Objective To explore an effective method for comprehensive intervention of feeding difficulties in infants and young children aged 6 to 24 months,in order to provide operational basis for clinical practice. Methods Totally 170 infants aged 6-24 months with chief complaint of feeding difficulties for the first visit were enrolled in this study to receive clinical intervention for 3 months from January to June in 2017,including 90 males and 80 females. The height,weight,neuropsychological development was collected,and Feeding Difficulty Assessment Scale(MCH-FS) was used to evaluate symptoms before and after intervention. Results After intervention,the percentage of weight within P25-P75 interval increased from 28.2% to 56%,the percentage of mental development index(MDI) >85 increased from 44% to 73%,and the percentage of psychomotor development index(PDI) >85 arose from 39% to 78%.Meantime,the number of infants without feeding disorders increased from 0 to 24.7%,but severe feeding difficulties significantly decreased from 12.4% to 5.4%(P<0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive intervention,which integrates psychological,physiological and social factors,is effective for feeding difficulties.
