P92.8: Other feeding problems of newborn
Other feeding problems of newborns is a medical condition that affects infants shortly after birth. This diagnosis incorporates an array of issues that prevent the infant from feeding normally or gaining sufficient nutrition from their feeding. The condition can be caused by various factors such as unfitting feeding techniques, physical abnormalities, digestive issues, or general discomfort while feeding. Symptoms often include difficulty in latching on or sucking, frequent vomiting after meals, slow weight gain, or not being interested in feeding. This condition can affect the newborn's growth and development, as inadequate intake of nutrients can cause various health issues. It is also important to note that these feeding issues are not a reflection of the newborn's overall health or their long-term feeding behavior. In addition, the problem usually gets resolved over time with appropriate medical intervention and professional guidance.
