My 2 year old has had feeding issues for a long time, he didn't move on from stage 2 foods until he was about 20 months.
The problem is he doesn't chew, so he rejects any food that requires chewing. He also rejects puréed foods and ready brek.
All he is currently prepared to eat is yoghurt or dairylea spread on bread/ very light toast. He likes soft bread with lots of butter and he loves chocolate.
He will sometimes take a fish finger or a bit of potato waffle but that's it.
He sucks at the food until it dissolves and it takes him ages to eat anything.
He's been referred to a feeding clinic for help but we're at our wit's end. Any ideas of other things we could try him on?
