Thanks for answering Shara. I am not doing the Son-Rise program, I don't know much about it--haven't had time to read everything yet. I just started looking this stuff up yesterday. Chris other symptoms are speech delay, and is "tactile defensive" as the OT puts it. I am also having problems with a hypersensitivity to background noises (My husband and I sleep in the room next to him and it seems like even if I roll over in bed, he'll wake up) and I am confused whether I should let him cry or go in by him. I would like to see Chris eat any kind of vegetable, fruit, or meat as he will not eat any of these (except summer sausage once in a while). I am open to any ideas and am willing to do anything no matter how silly it may seem.

: Hi Debbie, welcome to the board. I'm interested to know if you're doing son-rise with Christopher?
: Does he have any other special needs that you're working on? If you are doing son-rise then have you been completely outrageously creative and fun with introducing foodstuff? You know - to make it as inviting as possible!! Perhaps you could think of a foodstuff you want him to try then stick it on this board and we could all brainstorm on it - and come up with some wacky fun ideas on how to present it or introduce it?! What do you think? love, Shara.

: : Hi, I'm new to this board. My son Christopher, 26 months, is "tactile defensive." He has been really coming around lately with occupational therapy and speech therapy, but I am still having trouble in the eating department. When he was a baby, I breast fed him and planned to wean him a million times, but he would NOT accept a bottle from anyone. The doctor said if he's hungry enough he'll take it." I tried, but I would wimp out after half a day. He absolutely did not like the artificial nipples (I think I bought every kind of bottle/nipple on the market). He seemed to be eating solids fairly well until about 12-14 months when he slowly started eliminating different foods. Now I'm at the point where he will only eat mushy stuff like oatmeal or anything that is crunchy. Anything like noodles, fruit, meat and vegetables he seems to get the "heebie jeebies" when it is in his mouth. He has to really like to eat it. I have no idea what to give to him to eat anymore. The OT is doing oral brushing, but so far he hasn't progressed. Anybody have any ideas on what to do or healthy foods that he might eat? Thanks to all.
