Feeding:Eating problem. hetal, can you please help?
2006-09-18
Name: Worried Mom.
My son is 2.5 years old is doing very good in all aspects except for his chewing problem. He cant chew his food and will just swallow every thing. I am working and my MIL takes care of him (wiht the help of a maid). She used to put the food in mixie and feed him and he never learned to chew. Now we are realizing that it is heard to change that. Now he goes to play school and still doent eat any thing from his tiffin box..Just brings it back home. But his weight/height is excellent. he is above avearage. We pure food and give, but we make sure that every thing goes in to his stomach. so, that is not a problem, but how to make him eat like other kids. I feel sad for him, when I see kids eating pizzas and chocolates. he cant even eat a biscuit. he chokes. :(
Plese suggest....
Dont tell me to stop puring the food in one day. he will have to starve then...
Please suggest.
With lots of hope....

Hetal replied. lets do onething in your case. first let the feeder of your child understand that your son is a toddler. now tht you are realized that he is late,,try my tips to mom dated 18th sept.there are some tips to make your child eat foods.
but since thats not your concern but it will give you ideas to start feeding your baby lumpier foods. now that he is very much used to pureed foods, we cant obviously stop him all of sudden,,no kids learn that way..
put some overcooked pieces of the food you puree and mash lightly with your hand and see how he accepts that.give him lumps along with the pureed foods that you are offering,,first give mashed lumps,a couple ofthem,,he will find it abit difficult to learn to eat,,give him time to practise eating,go very slow and show happy expression instead of doubting ones when he is looking at you while eating !!
if he is fine with mashed lumps or extremly soft lumps,increase the texture of lumps and start lumpier foods,,and slowly mover further to abit harder texture,
biscuits soaked in milk,toast soaked in milk,bread pieces soaked in milk are best examples of mashed or lumpier snacks.try that..roti might be too thinn for him to learn to eat,however if you are soaking a paratha,,that might help.
also toddler cereals get very soft and lumpy and its not much a concern if baby doesnt chew them, but at the same time, they do try to chew them because of their size & texture,,one more great way to make them learn to eat !!!!
put a very small lump in his mouth,,it should be smooth enough to to dissolve in mouth, without much efforts..make him get interested that way...
