Abstract	The purpose of this article is to describe changes in problematic eating symptoms across 6 months in children seen in an outpatient feeding clinic and explore child characteristics associated with symptom changes. Participants were 58 parents of children aged 6 months to 7 years of age who were seen in an outpatient feeding clinic. Parents completed an online survey at 3 time points: enrollment and 3 and 6 months later. The survey consisted of the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PediEAT) and a set of questions assessing demographic information, child's medical and feeding history, medical diagnoses, gastrointestinal function, and medications. Linear mixed modeling was used to examine changes in PediEAT total and subscale scores over time and explore associated child characteristics. The PediEAT total score significantly decreased over time with the greatest change in the Physiologic Symptoms subscale. Several child characteristics were associated with more severe symptoms of problematic feeding: older child age, more symptoms of constipation, and diagnoses of speech-language delay, developmental delay, food allergy, and/or genetic disorder. Parent report of child symptoms of problematic eating decreased across 6 months. Associations with child characteristics highlight the complexity of pediatric eating problems and the need for more research on potential factors influencing symptoms of eating problems.
