my first feeding day- friday

today was and is super hard.

I am feeding him now with the therapist and breakfast was rough. It took forever. The steps feel unnatural and he vomited and I had to use physical guidance and he is holding his bites to attempt to stall the next bite from coming. At the end of the feed, the last step is me saying "Last bite, after this bite, we are all done". He then took the bite. Next we reward, praise and play for about 30 seconds. Then the toy leaves and I say "when you show me your empty mouth, we can go".

I ignore him until the bite is gone and he shows me an empty mouth.

Well, he held that last bite for over 7 minutes.

Very frustrating. Lunch was no better.
