[quote=Anonymous]First, I recommend reading the book Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating. Our pediatrician recommended us to see a gastroenterologist and then a feeding specialist (who was a speech pathologist) as our child was not maintaining weight. We did 4 sessions of feeding therapy before finding it was no longer useful. The main thing is to not make meals stressful for the child. For every meal we have a food item he doesn’t like. There are different levels of what he needs to do with the food. The first level is having the food on his plate. Then touch and/or smelling the food, then licking the food, then taking an actual bite. It can take several meals before he takes a bit. His reward is tht he can have whatever he wants for dessert.[/quote]
