Intensive Multidisciplinary Feeding Intervention for High-Risk Infants.

Infants born premature or other medical complex infants are at high risk for developing long-term feeding problems that extends beyond infancy. Intensive multidisciplinary feeding intervention (IMFI) represents the standard of care for children with chronic and severe feeding issues, with a profession team that should involve, at a minimum, psychology, medicine, nutrition, and feeding skill expertise. IMFI seems to hold benefit for preterm and medically complex infants; however, there remains a need to develop and investigate new therapeutic pathways to reduce the number of patients who likely require this level of care.
