Some lady gave me the "uh, I think your kid is eating something". He is ALWAYS eating paper, so I assumed that's what it was. Nope - a metal earring he had swiped from a display. My bad!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988590894638135312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124741384965975431.post-5888835741956905192012-07-19T15:07:34.949-04:002012-07-19T15:07:34.949-04:00We are having the same issue with Levi (2 years ol...We are having the same issue with Levi (2 years old). He basically lives on baby food and graham crackers. I am trying not to stress about it but wish I knew what to do. I feel like a bad mom b/c I am not feeding him healthier food. He also loves sand!April Vernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10165895845816043237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124741384965975431.post-63631326370547141032012-07-19T09:50:57.402-04:002012-07-19T09:50:57.402-04:00I saw this picture and had to comment.

Now she has maybe 10 items in rotation, including solids. The lollipop she had on vacation last week was cause for celebration. Her sensory issues stem from autism, and she has plenty. But we have seen progress, and our whole family works to encourage her. My brother and SIL's approach after all the feeding specialists was to take a step back and eventually she started trying things. Colin will get there on his own schedule, and you guys are doing a great job !Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310043163074136313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124741384965975431.post-46357396157568058552012-07-18T12:11:09.426-04:002012-07-18T12:11:09.426-04:00Kelli-

I do have the g-tube as a back up but that in itself is super frustrating. One thing I have found that Beau likes is grape nuts. Colin might like it because it has the texture of 'sand'. :) That or rice crispies. Beau's not a rice crispy fan but the grape nuts are a favorite. It isn't easy for him to pick them up but sometimes I sprinkle it on top of yogurt and he just digs it out.Alaina and Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414540226285673632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124741384965975431.post-10229327634721224382012-07-18T11:38:52.642-04:002012-07-18T11:38:52.642-04:00Russell lives off of yogurt and pudding and apple ...Russell lives off of yogurt and pudding and apple sauce...He eats a few other things too, but not much. His issues with feeding are it has to be broken up for him...Like he will not bite from toast, he wants it in pieces on his tray...He won't bite a banana, that too has to be broken up...He will not eat ANY thing crunchy...No crackers, no cereal, nothing like that...<br /><br />We have had OT a few times but she never has any new ideas...All she says is to try getting him to dip his food into something or let him smush his hands in pudding and different textures, make things different temperatures...sigh...Ya, I get all that, it's not working.<br /><br />So I am fine waiting it out. I'm not going to stress over it...LOL, I can't believe how much sand he got all over his face! Too funny!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040699928110444013noreply@blogger.com
