Rory & Goldfish Crackers

So, last week, I discussed my concern about Rory thrusting goldfish crackers with the feeding clinic. I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with getting her to eat these. It's like, the "gold" standard of baby snack foods. Well, Rory decided to take a bite and swallow it, once again making me look over reactive at the clinic. Well, she hasn't eaten a bite of one since without spitting it out, so today I got video of it. I am going to take this video with me to our next appointment. The co-ordinator felt that Rory was tongue thrusting due to preference, which didn't settle well with me because she likes goldfish crackers, but it appears to me like she CAN'T physically eat them. What do you think? It just seems weird that this is how my 16 month old eats a cracker. You can hear her refluxing too, if you listen carefully....oh, and the self-gag on the tray, lovely. She's just not feeling well enough to eat. She's healthy, other than reflux, so WHY won't they let us treat the reflux with a different medication????? Sheesh. I may actually beg at her ped's appt on the 17th.
