Re: Toddler feeding issues
No, no sensory issues. The thing that bugs me is they already ran all those tests on him a long time ago, and told us there was nothing wrong with him, he was just being stubborn. Absolutely no other developmental delays either. The program around here that they place kids into is called First Steps, and it ends at 3 years of age, and can continue into school. But Kristian is too young for school. I fear the only option is to just pay out of pocket for an occupational therapist.
It's almost like my son is afraid of chunky things being in his mouth. I have no clue why, he has never choked on anything so he has no reason to be scared. Teddy Grahams are pretty hard but he didn't have a problem chewing those up. He won't chew the foods with texture, he lets them go to the back of his throat which gags him and makes him vomit. He won't even try to chew.
My doctor just tells us that it's not a big deal right now, if that's what he wants to eat, then that's ok. The other doctors in the practice say the same thing, and there are no other parents I know of that has had the same experience that we have had so they could help us. There is also nothing on Google I can find. I feel like we are alone in this.

At nearly 3 years old, there is some reason why he won't eat solids. A doctor should be curious about this, and work with you to find a solution.
