Sharon Yirilli launches supportive informational site for children with feeding issues.

Feeding underweight children can be quite a challenge. Parents can get tips and techniques to feed their children to promote weight gain.

2011-01-20

WHITSTONE, NY, January 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) In a country with an estimated 25% of children overweight or obese, one dietitian reaches out to those with the opposite problem by creating a website to help underweight children. "Obesity in children is a huge problem that deserves our attention, but children who are underweight or have feeding issues is an equally concerning issue that does not get much attention. These children often fall through the cracks of the healthcare system", stated website founder Sharon Yirilli.

With an estimated 25-40% of children having feeding issues at some point in their life, and a large percentage of special needs children suffering from feeding disorders, this site is a much needed resource for families. http://www.feeding-underweight-children.com provides information on nutrition and disease specific diet information, feeding tips and the option to join a free parent support forum. "These families often feel desperate and alone because this problem is not widely acknowledged and treated. The reality is feeding disorders are becoming a common problem. I want to give parents a place to go for information, support and a chance to connect with other parents".

Ms. Yirilli has been a dietitian specializing in feeding disorders for over 7 years and is now offering nutrition counseling services over the phone for those who are unable to come to her office in Whitestone, NY.

http://www.feeding-underweight-children is a site written to educate parents of children with feeding issues. It includes information on nutrition, feeding tips and techniques, and possible disorders these children may have which serve as the precursor to the feeding issue.
