A retrospective chart review to assess feeding tolerance in children who had been switched from an intact protein formula to a Peptide based formula due to feeding intolerance in a pediatric facility for the developmentally delayed.
Medical records of pediatric patients with enteral feeding intolerance on standard polymeric formulas that were switched to a peptide based formula will be retrospectively analyzed. Data will be collected on caloric intake, ability to meet enteral nutrition goals, incidence of intolerance, and the use of medications to control gastrointestinal symptoms.

Time frame: up to 30 days post formula switch
Intake of target feeding volume
Documentation of feeding volume after switch as "less than," "about the same as," or "more than" feeding volume achieved before switch.
Time frame: up to 30 days post formula switch
