Talk to Pediatrician on Swallowing Issue
Asking for Other, Female, 1 years old, Sharjah
Hi My baby is 14 months old. She always had issues with drinking milk. Most of the times she ll feed only while sleep. I started offering her solids when she was 6 months old but until now she doesn't swallows food. I have tried every texture, every method. She ll just keep it in her mouth but won't swallow it. We have been to countless pediatricians and a speech therapist also but nothing seems to work. Other than this issue she is a healthy happy kid. Please help me!

weight of baby?
what you given in solid food?food item?
vomiting issue after each feed
In order to give opinion, I would prefer to examine the baby myself. What is weight, height abd what developmental milestones she has achieved? If her development and growth parameters are ok, then stopping feeder and decreasing milk intake will definitely work for this kid. When we reduce milk feeding, baby surely go to take solid diets.

if the kid has significant swallowing issues, the kid can never be a healthy happy kid. there seems to be a disparity in history. you can show up for examination or get online consultation for diagnosis and treatment, as and if required
If her weight gain is adequate your child is getting the nutrition she needs. If she has walked and talked at appropriate times it is unlikely that your child has a serious swallowing disorder. Children need to learn to eat and require patience and perseverance on the part of parents.
