Brief Summary  

When the rapidly growing child consumes a limited quantity and/or variety of foods, there may be significant health consequences.Periods of variable duration characterized by poor appetite, inappropriate foods for age and/or food refusal are observed in healthy children. Eating problems in children are common concerns of parents and the severity of these findings vary widely, from failure to gain weight and height to loss of body weight. “Picky eating” is a relatively common problem during childhood ranging from 8% to 50% of children in different published studies.It is characterized by the toddler or child eating a limited amount of food, restricting intake particularly of vegetables, being unwilling to try new foods, and having strong food preferences often leading parents to provide their child a meal different from the rest of the family. Picky eaters consume inappropriate quantities of total fats, energy and proteins than children never reporting picky eating behaviour, and this can predispose the child to nutritional deficiencies. If the poor feeding behavior is severe enough to cause growth faltering, long term growth and development can be negatively affected.It can also lead to increased susceptibility to infections. Children who are unable to maintain adequate energy and nutrient intake require modifications in their feeding habits and oral nutritional supplements may be indicated and effective. Food and nutrition programs may help to achieve the goal of providing safe and healthy nutrition to children at risk

Nutritional supplementation may prove beneficial for proper growth and development in pediatric patients. The goal of the present study is to compare the efficacy and safety of two pediatric oral nutritional supplements along with dietary counseling vs dietary counseling alone on the growth of preschool children in India.

Study will be published in the journal (national / international) after completion of the study.
