  Feeding Disorders
Feeding problems often occur in infant and children who are tube fed for extended periods of time due to some other illness or disability.
Feeding disorders can be caused by food allergies, by difficulty with the movement of the mouth or tongue (oromotor), or may be a cry for attention by a neglected child or a child with a behavioral disorder.
A feeding disorder is diagnosed when an infant's or child's continuing failure to eat causes inadequate weight gain or significant weight loss over at least a one-month period and there is no known medical condition or withholding of food that would cause the failure to eat.

 Feeding
Feeding your reef tank is one of the rewards you get for all that effort you put into it.
Feeding allows you to interact with your tank inhabitants and it is also a good time to look for any signs of problems.
Feeding is the main way that nutrients enter the tank, so some people prefer to feed minimal amounts to keep the tank as nutrient poor as possible to reduce the chance of problems that excess nutrients can cause, such as increased nitrate levels, algae growth, etc.

 Enteral Feeding for Children
Tube feeding directly into the jejunum (i.e., the middle section of the small intestines) is used for children who cannot use their upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract because of congenital anomalies, GI surgery, immature or inadequate gastric motility, severe gastric reflux, or a high risk of aspiration.
Feeding around the clock is not recommended as this limits a child's mobility and may elevate insulin levels contributing to hypoglycemia.
One advantage of continuous feeding over bolus feeding is that it may be tolerated better by children who are sensitive to volume, are at high risk for aspiration, or have gastroesophageal reflux.

 CAH - Complementary Feeding
The adequacy of complementary feeding (adequacy in short for timely, adequate, safe and appropriate) not only depends on the availability of a variety of foods in the household, but also on the feeding practices of caregivers.
Feeding young infants requires active care and stimulation, where the caregiver is responsive to the child clues for hunger and also encourages the child to eat.
The Guiding Principles for Complementary feeding of the Breastfed Child (2003) developed by the Pan American Health Organization, summarize the current scientific evidence for complementary feeding and are intended to guide policy and programmatic action at global, national and community levels.

 Information Sheet on Deer Feeding Regulations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Feeding is often done in open areas where deer are exposed to cold winds, causing them to lose valuable body heat and requiring them to consume even more calories to stay warm.
At artificial feeding sites deer are in closer contact, and the food is replaced at the same location repeatedly, increasing the likelihood of direct contact between animals and more concentrated contamination of the ground with feces and urine.
The penalty for illegally feeding deer is a violation punishable by a fine of up to $250 and 15 days in jail for each day of the offense.

 Bowes and Domokos: Negotiating Breast- Feeding
A few Pakistani women commented that bottle feeding is a Western practice and a modern practice, and that this had influenced their wish to pursue it: sometimes, there was pressure on them from older people in their families to bottle feed for these reasons (cf Mull, 1992, who describes similar pressures in Pakistan).
However, some of the health visitors felt that older white women were inclined to prefer bottle feeding because of its popularity among a former generation of mothers, the mothers of the generation interviewed for the study, who were likely to have influenced their daughters' feeding decisions (cf Blaxter and Paterson, 1982).
Previous research on breast- feeding has been preoccupied with the search for single factors (less often, combinations of factors) promoting or discouraging it, generally in an attempt to discover why rates of breast-feeding are low or less low in different areas, social classes or ethnic categories.

 Breastfeeding Articles--Cup-Feeding
Cup feeding is used in several developing countries, not only by mothers who have limited access to hospital facilities, but also by pediatric units and special care nurseries.
The idea of insituting this type of feeding arose as a way to combat "nursing/hunger strikes" and to ensure bodily contact with the mother during feeding (prevent bottle-propping in non-breastfeeding dyads), but was extended to infants with birthweights as low as 860 gm.
Cup feeding encourages the movement of the tongue and muscles of the mouth, allows the baby to enjoy its feedings, and strengthens the relationship between parent and child.

 MBNMS: Filter Feeding
Filter feeding, found in the mysticete whales and three species of pinnipeds (crabeater seals leopard seals, and Antarctic fur seals) is the most unique of these adaptations for feeding, and is not found in any terrestrial mammals.
Filter feeding is a foraging strategy that allows individuals to capture and process large quantities of prey in single mouth full, thus allowing them to acquire energy at high rates when small prey are aggregated.
Ultimately, large body size and filter feeding allowed some marine mammals to exploit the extremely high densities of schooling prey that develop at high latitudes during the spring and summer, but fast during the winter when these resources disappear.
