Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 hi Jodi R, My other son chewed shirts, too, but not with the intensity of Willie's. He honestly chews holes in them. We asked the feeding therapist who taught the WHY ISN'T MY CHILD EATING class at the convention and she thought it probably signalled reflux. Jodi C, you mentioned it may have to do with ADD/ADHD, too, right? This last episode I've definitely noticed a decrease in food while the increase in shirt-chewing is happening. I don't know if it's reflux or that he's seeking oral stimulation. I try giving him whistles, lollipops, chewy foods but nothing replaces the shirt. I've considered soaking his shirts in butter or sewing scaps of food to them. I really think it's reflux. Wish I knew more. Good luck to you.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 hey kathy!! glad to hear from you!!! my nicholas use to chew on his clothing really bad and now it is only once in awhile. it seams with him atleast that he does it when he is nervous and it may possible be related to his ADD. good luck with finding out why willie does it!! jodie c. ps everyone that i showed pics of the 2 of them together thought they looked like they could be brothers!!!! > hi Jodi R, > > My other son chewed shirts, too, but not with the intensity of Willie's.
