2 Year old not Chewing :(

Ana+VAna+V member
in Toddlers: 24 Months+
Hello Ladies - Please help a preggie mum with a toddler who refuses to chew ! He wants only mashed food - any boiled veggies are just thrown out ! or plain swallowed !...He can eat bread / chips / biscuits - only to make them soft enough and then gulp them down ! He hates all fruits !! (Only will take fruit puree) The only 1 he likes is apples - again he will make them soft and gulp them down...all the favourites are just gulped down
He speaks quite well - in short sentences ...so i dont think it's speech related....
i have tried all basic things - parents showing him / his friends showing him / keeping him hungry for 2 / 3 days ... Nothing works...It's food his way or he will keep crying till he gets it..

Please help !

    I think this is one for a pediatrician. It sounds like a major issue that needs to be evaluated.
    I agree.  A lot of kids are picky at 2.  Some kids have true texture aversions and need help.  My DD  is the opposite.  She craves extra oral input and prefers foods that are spicy and crunchy.  Luckily she was seeing a speech therapist and this was diagnosed awhile ago.

    I agree you should talk to your pedi. I have a few friends who's kids have received feeding therapy, which has helped a ton.
