She had swallowing/feeding issues, since she was tube-fed, and the thicker consistency foods were easier for her to manage. <br />Before she ate those foods, she did chew on some harder foods, like big strips of dried mango or dried papaya spears, in order to desensitize her gag reflex, so I guess those were her first introduction to eating and then once she managed them well we moved on to purees. She didn't actually eat the dried fruits though, just chewed on them to get used to the idea :) We also had the guidance of an occupational therapist when we introduced Faith to eating by mouth.<br />I hope that you figure out what works for your son!<br />RaeanneRaeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193166163053592310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120081140561056228.post-72439096031455733332012-06-15T21:12:55.492-06:002012-06-15T21:12:55.492-06:00hi i found your blog through someone else's ga...hi i found your blog through someone else's gastro blog. My son was born with this diagnosis as well and is now 8 1/2 months. I have a question if you would be able to answer it. He is dying to eat real food and i am afraid to what will happen. I know its mostly trial and error but what were the first real foods you gave your precious angel? <br /><br />Happy Birthday by the way......way way late lol <br /><br />thank you <br />KateMy Sweet Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093323773084929082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120081140561056228.post-59200125881081512782012-06-15T21:11:26.737-06:002012-06-15T21:11:26.737-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.My Sweet Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093323773084929082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120081140561056228.post-75052611082883590562012-01-29T14:06:27.462-07:002012-01-29T14:06:27.462-07:00Hi Faith
