Hi Mummies,
I'm kinda desperate for new ideas & suggestions.
My 4 year old boy does not chew his food. All he does is use his tongue to press on the food then swallow. He'll swallow 1st then mimik the chewing motion.
We've tried scolding, massaging his jaw, chewing to show him, making his food more coarse but nothing seems to work. If he tries to swallow coarser food, he'll vomit.. sigh..
His diet now consists mostly of semi-solid food eg. porridge, mee suah w soup, yogurt, 'toh hua', jelly.
Can anyone help?
