How To Make My Son Eat Solid Food?
My 4yr old son choked on a piece if his Chicken Nugget about 4wks ago. He is now afraid to eat anything solid. He has been drinking Pediasure, Popscicles, a couple licks of Pudding and Yogurt. I dont know what else to do. He's lost 2 1/2 lbs. is there a specialist I can take him too. I'm so worried about him.

Hi there...
Does he have any difficulty swallowing liquids?
It is quite possible that it is his fear that makes him avoid solid food. Gradually start with something semi solid and then progress to solid food.
