2. BMI z-score between -1 to -2.9 for children between 2 and 3 years of age using the CDC growth standards; or
3. Middle upper-arm circumference (MUAC) z-scores between -1 to -2.9 using the WHO growth references; or

Toddlers currently on or with history of tube feeding or with chronic health conditions that influence eating (e.g., food allergies, genetic disorders or developmental disabilities, oral motor difficulties that require sensory or feeding therapy).
