An interesting development that I am almost scared to write in case I jinx it... Brady has not been gagging on his food. Here's the difference: I have been feeding him in the Bumbo in the living room where I know he has been a bit distracted. I put the food on his spoon, put his hand on the spoon and guide it to his mouth, so he is attempting to feed himself (someday!). He has been opening his mouth and taking the food in - not gagging or spitting it all out. He is not eating the whole jar, but about 1/3 of it with sips of milk after every two bites. I tell him "two more bites!" then "all done!" and with a big flourish, take his bib off. He is not yelling at the end or throwing his head around to avoid the food.

Like I said, if this jinxes it I will bang my head against the wall. I hope he does this well tomorrow with his Speech therapist.

I have kept him off Zantac and have noticed no changes with any reflux-type behavior. In fact, while he seems to still have some fluid hanging around inside, it has not been as bad. This has me more convinced he has had a bug or other winter-ailment that caused the fluid and his subsequent gagging while not eating. We'll see...
