[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the responses. I had the same issues early on too. I too had to distract my kid at feeding to make it successful. In our case one thing that made a difference was getting more enticing table food. I was trying to be the low or no sugar, no butter, no salt momma because all the baby books told me to do so. Well, it wasn't until I got really good stuff that feeding slowly became more successful. Once there was butter, salt and cinnamon on those sweet potatoes he was more willing to eat some lumpy mashed sweet potatoes and then eat sweet potato fries. We worked our way up the cookie chain from easily disolvable to more complicated with the help of an OT. Things progressed much faster once good cookies were involved. Whole foods Market has these organic yogurt bits withn probios in them made a company called something like Healthy Baby. Have you tried those?  There's a Kashi cereal he used to like called "Mighty Bites."

All I can tell you is for us things gradually got MUCH better. I never in a million years thought I would have such a good eater after all our struggles. Good luck OP and keep us posted!
