hi MK
LOL also had a few eating issues with my DS, who couldn't even blow a bubble or spit incl spit OUT gum/food/anything in mouth oh until maybe a year ago? Blowing bubbles came first. He was also very much a talker by then as well... never did learn why the blowing/spitting thing so difficult and if you see as issue and learn why? PLEASE share
I'd like to know, even though every kid different...
ok, so I DID mention bubbles/spit thing to School OT- who very clearly stated it was NOT a school concern, it didn't impact his ability to learn curriculum etc, OT stated they did NOT do anything for oral eating etc type OT issues- she did say it was an OT issue, just not something she could work with DS on. *ST is one who gave me ideas for helping him...
Eventually, he got better with this. He still sucks at spitting out toothpaste, it sorta dribbles down chin? idk. if that is the only issue I don't care so much. I'm no longer concerned as much that he will choke on something b/c he can't spit it out when needed (he actually did do this and i had to pop it out for him, it had been lodged as evidenced by the piece of food flew across the kitchen!)
