🌟 March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 🌟

Did you know that paediatric feeding disorder (PFD) affects an estimated 2.5%–3.5% of children under five, and its prevalence can reach up to 80% in those with developmental disabilities? Early recognition matters — understanding the interplay of presenting conditions in PFD is critical for identifying at-risk children, enabling early diagnosis and treatment, and mitigating poor growth and related complications.

This month, we spotlight the importance of:
✨ Early screening
✨ Collaborative, multidisciplinary care
✨ Supporting kids and families navigating PFD alongside developmental challenges

Together, we can promote awareness, better care pathways, and outcomes for every child. 💛
