Concerning feeding behaviours include: - Consistent refusal to feed or extreme difficulty latching, choking, gagging, or coughing during every feed, taking longer than 45 minutes for routine feeds, persistent vomiting (different from normal spitting up), signs of pain or distress during feeding, inability to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing. These may indicate underlying feeding difficulties requiring specialist assessment.
