Hello,

This is the 1st time I've posted on here so please bear with me.

Has anyone had any problems with a child that just chews and chews food but wont swallow. It happens mainly with meat. A bit like my 3yr old is lazy at eating it. We cut the meat into the tiniest pieces, have draped it in tomatoe sauce, apple sauce etc etc but to no avail. Tonight I resorted to pureeing his meat, potatoes, carrots and cabbage in order to get him to eat something. He still chewed it to death even though there was nothing there to chew! Certainly doesnt have this problem with Chilli con carne or any other foods/sweets. Its driving us to distraction and making mealtimes extremely stressful.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you in advance.
