food. He will not feed himself... He will wait it out until you feed him the puree. He's a very small boy. I'm afraid he's not getting the proper nutrition. A. Am I crazy??? B. How do I bring my this up to mom....who is an early child hood intervention physical therapist??
Here in TN we are required to let babes try & self feed soft cooked items once they are sitting at the table... it's more for practice, but I don't let parents send food in, partially because of allergies (mine & other babes). I soft cook all my foods & mush only at the beginning, but never puree even for beginners. And I never start with fruit... that's teaching a child to get hooked on the sugar & it's harder to get them to eat veg
