I tried blending chicken by itself the other day and it was very gritty and Noah wouldn't eat it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467411170536465859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2775833811713241229.post-24512167039908210882012-04-20T13:54:35.331-04:002012-04-20T13:54:35.331-04:00Hi Sue,
First of all, Noah looks great and I am...Hi Sue,<br /> First of all, Noah looks great and I am happy that you guys had a great eval..changes will probably accelerate in the future.<br /> We got Adam off the tube about 3 years after it was put in. My savior has been the Vitamix where we puree everything from chicken to steak and yucky vegetables. If its blended smooth, he never has much problem. I add about 4 oz of liquid in the vitamix with the meal and then her gets a 9 oz cup of thickened juice which we thicken with "Thick It." It gives it the consistency of nectar...so between the added liquid to the meals and 3 cups of juice he gets about 40oz which seems to be quite ok. We spoon in the liquid but he does take small sips from a cup. Not easy, but it's helped him overall..Best wishes to y'all!!Phil Dzialohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150881545903849250noreply@blogger.com
