Abstract: | Rumination is a relatively rare, potentially fatal syndrome in infants. This article reviews the historical and current treatment
of rumination. Two cases are presented: a six-month-old who narrowly escaped surgery when the disorder was not recognized,
and a complicated case from the neonatology intensive care unit. Environmental changes and enhanced mothering are described
as being critical to correction of rumination and appropriate weight gain. |
