OT - Feeding Issues - Aversion or thrust???

[Guest guest]

,

Here's an email from a feeding list I am on regarding the aversion vs. thrust

issue. Thought you might be interested given the discussion on the list late

last week.

Babies give us a variety of readiness cues that let us know when they are ready

to move to pureed solid foods. I have an Information Paper on the New Visions

Website called " Guidelines for Success: Enhancing Infant Readiness for

Supplemental Foods " [ http://new-vis.com/fym/papers/p-feed2.htm ]

There is another article on the same website that may be very helpful for you.

It is " Refusal of First Foods " [ http://new-vis.com/fym/papers/p-feed4.htm ].

If babies are ready for these foods, they will do better if you help them

develop a good sucking rhythm as you put the food in the mouth. Sometimes the

thrusting forward of the baby's tongue is a disorganized response that comes

because of the way the food is placed in the mouth.
