Feeding Flock Research

The Feeding Flock is a group of dedicated researchers with aims of  furthering our understanding of pediatric feeding disorders. Originally started at UNC-Chapel Hill by Dr. Suzanne Thoyre, the group now consists of researchers from different backgrounds and universities. 

The Feeding Flock research team has developed a set of valid and reliable measures of feeding for assessment of feeding in infants and young children from birth to 7 years old.
