Ben and I are doing some experimenting with new foods. I'm going to log his success here, so he can look at it, and so YOU can give him encouraging comments! He will have about 8 new foods on his plate. About a bite of each. He has to try all of them, chew them well and think about whether he can swallow them or not. He is allowed to spit them out if he really doesn't like them. Ready?
Experiment No. 1 Results:
Turkey... spit out
Ham... spit out
Chicken... spit out
Hot dog... spit out
Apricot Jam... spit out
Peanuts... liked them. Asked for them as a snack the next day.
Celery with Peanut Butter... spit out
Chocolate Milk... said he LOVED it!
Even though he didn't swallow most of the foods, he did a great job of giving them all a fair chance. Big progress for Ben! Of all the meats, he decided that turkey was the one he'd like to try again in the next experiment and see if he could swallow it.
Way to go Ben! I'm so proud of you for trying new foods!
