[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 52015, member: 2423"] Dara, when I took M to a feeding specialist at Children's Hospital in Washington, Difficult Child, she told us she sees three kinds of feeding issues in young children: 1) sensory food aversion, which is when tastes, smells or textures turn kids off (the picky eater to an extreme); 2) infantile anorexia, which is low appetite and should not be confused with anorexia nervosa (seen in adolescents); and 3) post-traumatic feeding disorder, which is when an event (like choking or vomiting) triggers a fear of eating. In addition, most kids who exhibit feeding issues are anxious children to begin with. It turns out M has a combination of all three feeding issues, but what sent her over the edge last summer was her fear of choking. I hope you get to the bottom of what's going on with Sammy soon.
