Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Leah, Thanks for your message. I tried your trick tonight and Jonah finished his chicken and ate his sweet potato. He liked seeing he food go into his mouth and watching what the food. I don't know if Dr.H. would approve of all our " tricks " as she once " scolded " me when I told her that sometimes I put on a whole show for him to distract him. I guess if we are not putting the food in when they are distracted its not so bad. Anyway, she does not have to live the day to day.... Thanks again. , Jonah's mom Odd Eating Tip > > > > > Hello again, > > Thought I'd post this even though it's a bit on the odd side. > Olivia likes granola bars for breakfast but only usually eats a > couple of bites.
