Hi
This sounds silly but it's beginning to get on my nerves.
DS has been a pretty good solid eater. He's not really interested in feeding himself. I've experimented with a few finger foods but he's mainly keen on playing rather than eating much...but we perservere. He's never been great with lumps - he's fine with his own lumps (ricecakes, toast etc) that he feeds himself. Just not meaty, veggie or in his food lumps.
And now in recent weeks he's started a new trend. When he's got lumpy food (even food he's devoured in the past at same consistency), he kind of stops chewing altogether. He sucks it down, or gulps water down to wash it down (lazy but ingenius!!). I feed him and he continues this. Occasionally chewing, but I can spot lumps behind his teeth, in his cheek etc. Then he'll do a gag thing, and neck his water. Then the gag becomes a sicky mess - not a proper throw up, but he almost slowly reguritates his food in one hit. Bringing it all back up again.
Then, not concerned at all, he drinks some water and ignores me.
He doesn't do this with desert / fruit.
Anyone got any ideas?
TIA
Charlotte
