Hi all!!
My goodness, it has been a long time since I have posted on this section of MN I think I last wrote not long after ds had his heart surgery.
Anyway, ds is doing well, gaining weight at long last and we finally got him off the 4 month, pureed jars at 15 months old. He's now 20 months and eating mainly table food, althoguh we are careful as he has a couple of food allergies.
Now for my question! We say our dietician on thursday and I mentioned how ds won't eat any fruit at all except banana's and no veg except potaotes (unless it is in a jarred food). I have tried many fruits, apple, grape, strawberry, pear, peach, melon. He goes to pick it up and balks at the feel of it. The dietician seems to think he has a mild sensory issue, but if this is true, why does he not mind eating his porridge with his hands?? Although to be fair, he wants me to wipe his hands as soon as he is finished. Does this sound like toddler behaviour, or could there be something in it? Also, it could be that he may be allergic to fruit, but we won't get his results back until wednesday.
