I have a 4y and 2y (brothers) here who are very strange eaters. The 2y just started with me this month but 4y has been with me for nearly a year. The older boy started out as a terrible eater. Wouldn't try a lot, emotional, melt downs and sometimes he would take a bite of an unfamiliar food and immediately gag and vomit. He has come a long way. He ate a whole plate of scrambled eggs, that would have made him barf six months ago. I encourage all kids to try 2 bites of everything, but no pressure, just praise for kids who tried something new. My question is - can texture sensitivity be unlearned in some cases? I know for some children its more serious and life long, but with these two kiddos...its so odd. One day touching a food to their tongue and they vomit, a week later, same food and eats the whole thing. I am not going to stop offering challenging foods, but I don't love cleaning up vomit... any experience or ideas?
I know at home there is some catering to them food wise at least. 4yo refuses to drink milk at home (they wanted me to give him horcata here and I said he could choose water...) and after 1 month here he started drinking it fine.
Its the hot or miss aspect that has me baffled...they also don't eat muffin tops...only the bottom...not the delicious top...strangest eaters
