My 5 year old does this thing where she will eat and hold stuff in her mouth. Like she is afraid to swallow. It’s so strange and I don’t know what to do about it. She’s extremely picky when it comes to food. She will try something and spit it out, if it’s new food and she does it I don’t expect her to swallow it but it’s food that she loves that she’s now holding in.. a couple months she had strep throat so I know it hurt to swallow, but nothing looks abnormal in her throat now. Has anyone’s little gone through this at all? It’s concerning to me I don’t know if it’s worth seeing a good therapist? She goes through waves …
