This club session features two presentations, including a description by Dr. Katlyn McGrattan of the growing prevalence of pediatric dysphagia presenting with signs and symptoms of oropharyngeal impairment. Key questions are raised concerning the 'physiologic' nature of dysphagia and aspiration during development in the context of oral feeding function among healthy infants. Research findings are presented regarding feeding attributes among healthy non-dysphagic infants. The second presentation by Dr. Britt Pados will review the findings of a descriptive, cross-sectional study to identify factors related to the symptoms of problematic feeding in the first 7 months of life in 337 infants offered both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. Results on the Neonatal Eating Assessment tool, including three subscales [Mixed Breastfeeding and Bottle-feeding Sensory Responsiveness subscale, Feeding Flexibility subscale, and Gastrointestinal Tract Function subscale] will offer new insights on risk factors (adjusted for age) contributing to feeding disorders.
