title: [Infantile rumination].
abstract: Infantile rumination can be defined as self-induced regurgitation of previously swallowed food. Because it can lead to potential somatic complications and because it implies dysfunctional mother-child bonding, both a pediatric and psychiatric approach is needed. The treatment must be somatic (nutritional) and psychological (intensive nursing, mother-baby psychotherapy). Two case studies illustrate this rare but impressive picture.
