10 Symptoms of Bronchiolitis
Symptom #6: Poor Feeding
Poor feeding refers to children or infants who have little interest in feeding. It is similar to loss of appetite. It is also a term that can be used to describe children who are not feeding well enough to receive adequate nutrition for their growth. Prolonged periods of poor feeding can lead to failure to thrive.
Poor feeding can be caused by undernutrition and illness. 45 percent of child mortality is thought to be related to undernutrition. Poor feeding in early developmental years can lead to cognitive and physical issues.
