My oldest son has oral sensitivities and mostly eats pureed
food. We’ve been holding back on
introducing new foods since he’s been having a lot of behaviour problems
already. No sense in pushing things
beyond the intolerable.
However, I had an idea.
We’ve been trying to think of a way to get him eating regular breakfast
cereal as opposed to the baby oatmeal.
But we can’t mess with his breakfast without setting him up for a very
bad day at school. However, he has been
asking for a small bowl of oatmeal at night for dessert.
I took five Special K flakes and put them in his
oatmeal. I chose small ones and waited
to see what would happen.
He detected them with an accuracy that Scud missile
targeters can only dream of. Every last
one, no matter how tiny, spit onto the table.
Since then, he’s been wary about trying any cereal, so I may
have pushed things too far. I still
think its an idea worth pursuing, although maybe I’ll try the gentler method of
weaning him onto adult oatmeal instead.
