1 yo dd won't really eat solids. she spits out any chunky baby food (stage 3) or pukes when she swallows it. She'll eat those puff things, because they melt in her mouth, and...
(more)
chew on teething crackers and stuff, but nothing that doesn't dissolve before she swallows it. ped said she's "refusing solids" and wants me to take her to a "swallowing center". anyone btdt? any tips on getting her to eat something?

- ok, so was this a sensory thing that went along with other issues? Because I was worried at first that it was a sensory thing, but she doesn't seem to have any other stuff going...(more) 9-12-2011 9:24pm
