My 2 year old will not eat Table Foods only baby food.

Hi, my name is Jessica and I have a beautiful little girl name Emma Grace, when we were ready to move to table foods she had a very hard time. Each time I tried she would throw it back up every time. Now we are in Speech and O.T. and we are making great progress with her speech we started on a 9mth level and we are up to a level that a 15 mth old would be on.

I have tried everything and some, anything anyone told me about I have tried it with Emma Grace. We know she has sensory issues with her touch and taste so how do we move forward in the eating table foods. One more thing she will suck on Hot Chips untill the hot is off the chip then she will get another one these chips are every hot so I think there is something to this so if anyones has any ideas it would be a great help to me.

Picky Eaters
by: Anonymous

We feel your pain and frustration we have been dealing with our 3yr old grandson with his picky eating since he was bout 12mos he was in OT and helped so much but from what we learned he will always have food issues, as you both have pointed out they have to have spicy an or sweets. Its because they are oral hypo sensitive, the spicy food 'wakes' up their senses Jaxson eats sausage patties for every meal.... chicken nuggets and chocolate milk choc pudding apple slices on a good day, sour cream and cheddar chips. When we have meals we make his sausage or chicken but we also offer him what we eat, he may play in it or just push it away but at least we offer it. He is at average weight for his age and very intelligent our greatest fear is what happens when he starts school? Hes been around kids his age and wants so much to eat the things they do but just cant its very sad. Good luck to both of you, let me know if you find something that works for you , we are in this together.

I am right there with you-I have a 3 year old girl with the same problem!
by: Carrie

I don't know if you believe me, but I have the same-my daughter didn't even take a bottle. We have been putting formula/now whole milk powder in a baby food entree and fruit jar(1 jar each) and force feeding this since she was 8 months old. I have put her in a feeding program-contact your nearest early intervention specialist or OT and they should know of OT's trained in this or a feeding program-I don't know where you live, but UC Davis hospital in Sacramento Ca has a wonderful feeding program with pediatricians specially trained in this and also Easter Seals-Kinzey Murphy is the speech pathologist who runs their feeding program is wonderful!

My daughter still doesn't eat on her own, but is finally drinking chocolate milk-oh yes, she didn't drink willingly either! She eats some crackers too-we have the same problem with her being attracted to very spicy/sour things! Please feel free to email me, I have exactly the same issue and would love to help you in any way I can. cmiskawi@sbcglobal.net
Good Luck and keep at it, she will make progress!
