I spoke several times with the speech therapist about taking him off purée food since he was only supposed to be on for a few weeks. After a few months she finally put him on mechanical food after running more tests. He hates it and lost so much weight, he doesn’t eat as much. When I bring him home made food he eats with no problem like he’s starving to death. I told the therapist he wants to be on regular food and he doesn’t want your mechanical food. The therapist gets loud and refuses to take him off. What are our rights? I asked her repeatedly and this time she just came out and treated me like a child and rudely said NO.
He may be in a stage of swallowing difficulty where he can handle normal food especially if it's accompanied by something sweet. That may eventually stop working as it did in our case and you will have to turn to puree food strictly. You need to prepare for that eventuality.
