Drinks ANYTHING and only eats pretzels

by jessica
(new york)

My 2 year old son will drink anything I put into his bottle or cup but he will not eat... the only thing he has consistently eaten are pretzels... I'm just learning about SI and some of it sounds just like him. I've been saying forever to people how weird it is that he will only eat certain textures, mostly dry foods, and I thought that his absolutely insane behavior at the barber was normal. He also goes nuts when we try to cut his nails and he loses his mind when I leave a room... he has his own little language but really doesn't talk...Any thoughts?

starstarstarstarstar 		I would like an update on this child
by: Ann

I am wondering how this child is doing today with his eating habits and if things have changed? I am an OT who works with children and I am very interested to know what kinds of things have worked for this child to increase his eating repertoire? What strategies worked?
Thank you.

starstarstarstarstar 		His own lil language
by: Terri S

Wow I have been searching for anyone with a child like my grandson and his own lil language ive often thought it was his way of trying to learn to talk and he is now 3 and talks perfect and appropriate for his age but at about age 2 he began this babbling garble as if only he knew what he was saying and soon after that he was diagnosed with mild oral SPD he eats nothing but sausage and chips and apples and tons of cookies if we allow. Please seek out O.T and S.T his own lil language will start to fade and become less and less everyday. Good luck and stay strong
