It is great that you are aware and working the issues with such a young child.  Older children can overcome the oral motor issue, but then stay stuck on a limited range of foods for sensory/behavioral issues that are hard to unlock.  (that is where we are unfortunately).  Essentially, you can overcome lots of things before 4, that after 4 it can take more of a cognitive behavioral approach couple with OT with sensory work.

Best advice - continue to utilize the infant and toddler, but also get a consult at the children's hospital feeding disorder clinic and/or kennedy kreiger.  The expertise they bring may give you critical insights.  The earlier you intervene with feeding issues, the better.
