This case study describes the feeding problems that occurred in a child with cerebral palsy as a result of severe gastro‐oesophageal reflux, oral‐motor dysfunction and behavioural aversion. Nutritional management over the first(r)2 years of life is discussed. It illustrates the benefit of working in a multi‐disciplinary team.
