Meal time can be frustrating. AmIright? Or at least, I hope I’m not the only one who feels this way! I want my little guy to eat healthy and heartily, but sometimes I feel like he’s eating very little and with minimal variety. Before we moved into the world of solids, I pictured him eating all […]

I think I first notice Mini Pbj’s sensory issue when she was just under one. We had just begun to feed her some table food, and I noticed that she had an aversion to scrambled eggs and would gag while trying to eat them. I thought no big deal, she probably just doesn’t like them, […]

I yanked him out of his exersaucer, tilted him forward, and tried to get the food out. It wasn’t working. Holding him, I rushed […]
