Hi everyone,
Im looking for advice as I’m full of anxiety and don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
DS is 10 months old, had tongue tie cut at 2 days old. When we started weaning I noticed issues so brought him to nurse and they sent me to speech and language where they diagnosed with tongue tie reattachment. It was quite a severe posterior tongue tie. We went private and had to do lots of physio, switch bottles, get rid of dummy etc. and they cut the tie again.
basically my son is struggling with food so much, even now it’s cut, he’s still not really hungry for meals, only eats a certain Ella’s kitchen pouch and just doesn’t seem to be progressing. He struggles with texture and it’s been months if this with little to no improvement.
I’m an absolute anxious wreck when it comes to meal times when we do finger food, I’m so terrified of choking.
How do I help him get better at eating? We have tried to cut bottles down but some days are better than others. He’s still waking twice a night for bottles ( this is only a recent thing, it was once before).
Has anyone any tips for nice food ideas that aren’t in pouches and that won’t cause me to stress? He just seems to have no appetite!
He’s allergic to peanut and egg so we’re starting egg ladder soon.
I feel like I’m doing a terrible job and that my fears are holding him back.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you all! X
