I have a six year old DD with a complex medical history who eats very little. DD was born premature at 30 weeks. Oral motor difficulties as an infant (gagging issues due enlarged tonsils and adenoids and texture issues). Tonsils and adenoids removed at age 3. Major texture issues (will not eat anything with skin, crunch or mixed texture). She also has food allergies to milk protein (casein and whey), peanuts and eggs and a sensitivity to soy. Eating has been an issue as long as I can remember and I always put to much pressure on her to eat. This resulted in fidgety nervous behavior and distracting attention getting behavior at the table. DH and I finally gave in and allowed DD to eat in front of the tv, where she was less nervous. She is easily distracted, grazes in front of tv with food and refuses to eat at table. We have always been on top of her to eat, to pay attention to her food, etc. So even tv is just a bandaid. Now in Kindergarten, she will not eat lunch at the table. Appears less interested and easily distracted and knows she will be fed in front of tv at home, when she wants on her terms. She also doesn't eat if there is something more interesting going on. Pediatrician says she is normal weight at 47 pounds (60th percentile), and grows 2" per year. Psychologist says she has huge control issues with food and everything. We have just started insisting that all meals are at table and will try for one month. We are trying not to mention food but its very difficult when we see her not initiating anything at the table. We are obviously very concerned about a developing eating disorder, even though she has no issues with body image or weight. She is a very picker eater. Only likes rice, chocolate soy pudding, pasta, pasta soup, animal crackers, and seasoned beef and gets bored easily. Hates smoothies bc of texture. Cannot do Ensure or Pediasure due to allergies. How do we get out of this cycle.
