“It’s a long term process”: Description of family life when a child has a feeding disorder

In this study involving interviews with twelve parents of children with feeding disorders, we describe family management of feeding in the context of everyday life when a child had a significant feeding problem. The Family Management Style Framework was used as a guide. The description of family management of feeding can provide a foundation for further investigation and development of family-focused feeding interventions.
