I have not one but two children that this describes:( one is worse than the other, but really follows suit to everything I am reading. My children have been diagnosed with autism, the oldest never steps out of his box to try new things, has to have sauces and food can never touch he is now almost 6. The second is 3 and a half was much like the first at the beginning, but on dec 4th last year he refused any food which landed him in the hospital at 19 lbs for 4 months. Ng tube for 3 months but after many bouts of aspersions now has g tube:( He continues to only take water by mouth or afew sunflower seeds. Dr. State he is using this to controll us as his parents split up and he is not happy. I call bull on the dr. Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is the first time I have found anything that may be helpful. Thank you for sharingâ„
Tammy, it sounds like you haven’t been getting the support you and your children need around feeding. Let’s change that with these resources:
Mealtime Notions (Marsha Dunn Klein) supports families transitioning from tube to oral feeding. Lots of great information at http://www.mealtimenotions.com
The only physician I know that really, truly gets it is Dr. Katja Rowell. You can book an online consultation with her at http://www.thefeedingdoctor.com. Her book “Love Me Feed Me” is an excellent feeding resource.

Christine,
Have a look through the Resources page – there are online support groups and links to find professionals as well as some helpful reading. You are not alone in your feeding struggles with your daughter.
