My Mom told me to put him in his bouncy and vibrating chair which made him lay down much more and he started eating a bit more and easier. I have now moved him back to his high chair and he does okay but when he seems tired I put him back in the bouncy chair. Not sure if that will help at all but it seemed to help us a little. Seemed that he would get to tired and his head would hang down and I couldn't even get the spoon to his mouth. My friend's little boy (Benson) is having a hard time as well and she uses the vibrating thing so that might really help you. I should have her get on your blog and comment as she does get OT and maybe she can give you some suggestions that the OT have given her as Benson sticks his tongue out and it has made it really difficult to feed him. I'll see if she has any suggestions.Taushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711847444052463207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502307737528869885.post-40581789046831058942009-04-23T03:59:00.000-07:002009-04-23T03:59:00.000-07:00I wish I had some helpful words about the solids. ...I wish I had some helpful words about the solids. I'll just send hugs! We're all sick here again, too. No fever, but runny nose, cough, etc. I don't even have the energy to be mad about it. I'm actually depressed about it. I'm so sorry it is passing through your house again, too. :-(Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984557067655141677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502307737528869885.post-65006695503063105322009-04-22T22:28:00.000-07:002009-04-22T22:28:00.000-07:00Have you experimented with temperature of the pure...Have you experimented with temperature of the pureed foods. This was the key for us. He would literally spit out anything that was room temperature but if we heated it up or chilled it, he was totally into it! Something to do with sensory input and the fact that he likes extremes so it was the same with his food. I hope this helps :)!!! Hang in there with the illness.
