Abstract
The development of feeding and swallowing is the result of a complex
interface between the developing nervous system, various physiological
systems, and the environment. The purpose of this article is to review
the neurobiology, development, and assessment of feeding and swallowing
during early infancy. In recent years, there have been exciting advances
in our understanding of the physiology and neurological control of
feeding and swallowing. These advances may prove useful in furthering our
understanding of the pathophysiology of dysphagia in infancy. Progress in
developing standardized, reliable, and valid measures of oral
sensorimotor and swallowing function in infancy has been slow. However,
there have been significant advances in the instrumental analysis of
feeding and swallowing disorders in infancy, including manometric
analyses of sucking and swallowing, measures of respiration during
feeding, videofluoroscopic swallow evaluations, ultrasonography, and
flexible endoscopic examination of swallowing. Further efforts are needed
to develop clinical evaluative measures of dysphagia in infancy. © 2005
