When Your Baby Can't Eat | Inside the Innovative Infant Feeding Disorders Program
Come inside the Innovative Infant Feeding Disorders Program at Nationwide Children's Hospital where our team is helping our smallest patients achieve big milestones so they can go home sooner.
Meet Dr. Sudarshan Jadcherla
It's because of the crib-side research led by Dr. Jadcherla at Nationwide Children's that more babies are going home sooner and without needing to be tube fed. It's also the reason more babies have hope of avoiding chronic neurodevelopmental delays associated with infant feeding disorders. Learn more about Dr. Jadcherla and his team of feeding specialists.
Hayes' Story | From a Complex Feeding Disorder to Eating 'Like a Champ'
Feeding your baby a bottle is an ordinary part of the daily routine for most parents. But for the Braun family, whose son overcame a complex infant feeding disorder that once prevented him from eating, each bottle is a blessing. After spending just three weeks under Dr. Jadcherla’s care in the NICU, baby Hayes went from being tube fed to bottle fed and now, more than a year later, he is ‘eating like a champ’ all by himself.
