Sensory Issues and Waffles

I went to the NOAH's {National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation) website to ask a question about the food issues i've been having with Care Bear and I found a post on the exact topic.

Apparentley, many children with Albinism have sensory feeding issues as well as other sensory issues. I don't know for sure if it is linked with the Albinism or just the visual impairment. Either way, it explains a lot! Some of the moms said their children would eat 2nd baby foods, but not go near the 3rd and that's precisely what Care Bear has been doing. Something about the texture of the 3rd foods as well as some table foods aren't appealing to them.

They offered their opinion to see a Nutritionist or Speech Therapist that specializes in food therapy. I don't have a clue where to start looking for that, but I will start trying today! It's very important to me that she gets the right nutrition and if someone can help us passed these sensory issues, i'm all for it.

On a good note, I toasted a waffle and broke it into pieces this morning and she ate the entire thing. And said "Num, Num!" with each bite. =)
