Intensive feeding programs?

Question

Hey mommas, has anyone had to put their extremely picky or sensory issued child in a feeding program to get them to eat normally? My son is 3 and for no medical reason found by Drs only eats stage 2 baby food STILL!! I'm going nuts because this boy won't even try to bite into anything!! I just need help, advice, positive words, anything right now. And if your little has been in a feeding program how did it work out?

Answer

I don’t have any experience with that, but I follow a mom on Facebook whose 3yo has a genetic disorder and went through a feeding program. She went from being formula fed at the start of the year to eating table foods now.
Hopefully it works out for you!

Answer

Somerimes kids have sensory problems. I daughter has sensory issues too. In her case it does not disturb her ability to eat, but we have seen many kids at OT or ST who also attend Feeding therapy for their feeding issues. Most likely he has sensory processing issues, so he simply can not tolerate the texture in his mouth. Does he have any other symptoms?

Answer

We do “ no thank you” bites, she has to at least put the food in her mouth if she doesn’t like it she doesn’t have to eat it and can spit it out , if she’s being really stubborn I bribe her and 9/10 she will actually eat the no thank you bite , if he’s still on baby food maybe start doing foods that are close to the same texture and each time make them less smooth. Just idea to try before therapy
