Problems with lumpy foods? Try Speech Therapy!
My eldest son had problems with lumpy foods due to his severe reflux. He refused anything that wasn't 100% smooth and if i did get him to try anything lumpy he would gag or projectile vomit! He also couldn't cope wiht having his teeth brushed.
He didn't go on to more solid foods until he was over 2.
I managed to get some extra help from the local Speech therapy team - it sounds a bizarre connection but they often have someone who is trained in feeding/mouth problems and they can help you work on 'desensitising' your childs mouth so they don't gag as much.
They also invited us to a 'messy food group' to help my son get used to textures and see food as fun.
You can get referred to speech therapy by your doctor or your health visitor.
