A 19-month-old child from North Balgowlah, New South Wales, has never eaten a thing since he was born and has a physical aversion to anything going near his mouth or face - not even allowing his parents to kiss him

Alex Tesoriero, who was born 11 weeks premature weighing just 437 grams, had the tubes keeping him alive and is fed through a tube directly into his stomach, making no progress despite his parents' desperate trials to make him eat something.
