title: [Child food refusal: when will we call a child psychiatrist?].
abstract: Food refusal is a frequent symptom in infants and toddlers. Many difficulties resolve with pediatric treatment. In some cases of feeding disorders it is necessary to involve child psychiatrist intervention. This indication depends of child characteristics (medical and psychiatric diagnosis, failure to thrive, psycho-affective development) and also of family functioning and parental psychopathology.
