We’ve done some switching up with Parker’s feeds.
We are back to the Pediasure.
Minus the Microlipids.
Now when Parker gets a bolus feed, he also gets something to taste orally. The idea is to introduce the concept of getting full while eating orally.
Eating orally. Such sweet words.
Can you guess what Parker’s taste treat of choice is?
Recognize those cheesy little crumbs? They are Cheetos. Parker’s favorite. His big brother Rigel prefers the Flaming Hot variety. uh. ew.
Oh, yeah. This kid is definitely his father’s son alright. Cheesy little crumbs and all.
That was a wonderous day for our house too! Although my little man was 2 when he started eating by mouth a little! WTG Parker!
Yeah for eating. Yeah for getting rid of one more thing to do and supply in the house. I hated doing microlipids.
I’ve followed your blog for a bit now since a friend told me about it.
I just wanted to say how beautiful the words “Eat orally” are.
LOL!! When The Love Magnt whent through feeding therapy, they finally got her to eat cruchy textures by dipping Cheetos in chocolate pudding. I cringed. Apparently Cheetos are good mouth therapy.
Magnet. went. Truly I do know how to spell.
I check in here every day. He is such an inspiration. And so are you.
AWWWW, he is so precious!!! I love cheesy crumbs too Parky, good choice
Love you,
Amy
At least he’s eating real food. If you can call Cheetos real food.
