Re: Re: Jeanie Colp - Desparate question about eating issues

On the mouth-stuffing. we also share in that experience, but not when she

was little.

Di's old enough to respond to verbal reminders, but it's not necesssarily

easier as they

get older.

I wonder if you couldn't dole out the food onto their plates one regular

sized mouthful

at a time-they can pick what comes next-and I'm not saying spoon feed them.

But somehow perhaps it is possible to regain control of the situation, and

re-train

their set point.

Enough reward system can overcome alot of attitude, and devestating

consequences

have happened from choking on food.

I forgot to mention that MacKenzie frequently spits food out. I encourage her to

do this as I think she knows best what she can swallow safely.
