yesterday, the ladies at the daycare told me lana is perfectly ready to transition to her next class room. the only problem, is that she's extremely picky about her foods and has this thing with weird textures--she starts gagging. this translates into lots of work for us at home. i need help trying to get her to eat more table foods. we have about 6 weeks until she moves, and that's not a lot of time to get her completely off baby food and 100% on table/finger foods. any ideas? HELP!!!!
i'm kinda thinking babywise wouldn't be ready for this--or for her to drop her morning nap at less than a year (GRRR!) but i don't have a choice since i'm working. we have to follow the daycare's rules. and just so you know, it seems like all daycares have these same rules. boo!
any advice or little tips you could give me would be fantastic!

Hey Jamie. Hopefully you can figure this out at home but if not just want you to know they do have therapists who work on this with kids.It is a pain but you should find out if your insurance covers physical and occupational therapy. There are a lot of kids at Plano Presby where Maddy goes who are there for problems like gagging because of certain textures. There are PT/OT's who specialize specifically in swallowing and chewing. Like I said, kind of radical and maybe too expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it. We have never paid a dime for any physical or occupational therapy Maddy has had. So sorry the daycare is pressuring you about this. And like I said, hopefully someone else has a less radical tip.
