What Is Cornelia de Lange Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Feeding Problems
It is important that anybody gets as many nutrients as they can. It is especially important in young children that are growing. If they don’t get the nutrition that they need then it can mean they don’t develop as well as they should do. Some children don’t get the nutrition they need for medical reasons.
Children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome can cause the patient to have difficulties with feeding. This can mean they get less nutrition than they need, and this can add to already existing developmental problems. The syndrome will also sometimes cause dental problems and reflux in some patients.
