[quote=Anonymous]I've seen an SLP work wonders with a toddler 15 mos to 26 months around food issues. Toddler couldn't swallow correctly and had sensory oral issues. SLP would use sensory sticks, et, in her mouth before eating to "wake up" her mouth before eating and other things and the child was dismissed at 21/2 eating normally. And at 15 months she only ate bananas and drank formula. That's it. She'd suck the taste out of food but didn't swallow. Lost so much weight she reset her weight, went from a robust baby to a skinny older baby. But that SLP caused an amazing turnaround. Do feeding therapy. See the OT about sensory things, that will help. He's young so getting therapy now will make a difference.[/quote]
