Re: spitting out food/meats

[Guest guest]

Evan used to would not eat any meat that was not ground. I still have to

cut his meat in small pieces for him but at least now he is eating meal like

roast where before he would not. He used to chew the meat and spit it out

but he would eat ground meat. Could this be a sensory problem?

Mine(9 yrs) was like this but eventually started eating after about 3 months.

I would offer it to him every night(boy, did the dog eat good for a while!)

and he just started eating. He has slacked off of hamburgers(that is still

the only beef he will eat) but he eats homemade chicken tenders and sausage.

Love to all,

You might try really unusual meats. My son prefers lamb, ostrich, and duck

to chicken or turkey. Sometimes he likes beef and pork, sometimes he

doesn't. He peels even the tiniest piece of fat off of meat, won't eat it.

Since I have never done a rotation diet, I suspect that he is now sensitive

to the meats he eats most frequently, and perhaps to the saturated fats for

other reasons.

His sister, on the other hand, detests even the smell of lamb and refuses to

eat it oftener than once a month. She asks " what meat is this? " anytime I

serve meatballs, spaghetti sauce, or anything with diced meat in it (since

she knows those are the likeliest places for me to hide the mystery

meats...) She loves chicken, sliced turkey, and pork.

Still, I persist....
