Now that Lizzie is getting in a groove of the feeding tube, we are ready to really ramp back up her oral use for solids. With therapy this week, we are going back to oral stimulation and exercises, almost as a "recalibration" for eating!
She mainly took a bottle before, which did nothing to help her developmentally and that was a majority of what she took by mouth (this would also make her tired for then working on chewing and all the others movements needed for taking food by mouth)
So with that, I am excited to now just present her with things to move us forward with strong eating skills and habits!
Another hurdle is that she is also a 3 year old toddler who can also be a picky eater 🤣
