My 14mth old baby girl is sucking on her food then swallows her food hole she does not chew. Then she ends up throwing up this is a very night thing and I am worried about her she is lossing weight, she is tiny.. I tried to blend her food and she wont eat it just wants to drink but then now I guess she dont have much food in her belly its all liquid that is runs out the other end. Everynight I deal with throwing up because I have tried something different and she gags her self with her food or she just dont eat and she has nothing but liquids in her and the runs everynight. Please some help.. I have three kids and I have never seen this from any of them.
Talk to her doctor about this but in the mean time give her formula to make sure she is getting the nutrition she needs.
All liquid is OK for now. Give her formula so that she does have nutrition.
And call her pediatrician's advice nurse and ask about this. I suspect they will make an appointment to bring her in. Especially since she's losing weight. You don't want to let this go on any longer.
At 14 months it's normal to suck on food without doing much chewing. That is how my granddaughter started out with solid food. Give her food that gets smushy when she sucks on it. Give her soft cooked foods such as carrots, potatoes, pasta, applesauce and soft cold food such as bananas and avocados, crackers. Stay away from firm foods for now.
She is sucking because she hasn't figured out how to chew yet. Perhaps the food is too hard. And she's also sucking on the food to feel the texture and taste the flavor.
It's the vomiting that concerns me. I've not seen a baby first beginning to eat solids vomit. Spit them out, yes but not swallowing and then vomiting.
Also, always see the pediatrician when a child consistently loses weight.
Call the doc. But I suspect that something is not sitting well in her tummy she might be allergic and that is why it is all comming back out.
Yes, I would call her doctor ASAP and get her in. At 14 months she should be chewing. Also, if you haven't already switch her to a sippy cup and off a bottle, a little one of an acquaintance had a similar problem, once she was off the bottle she started chewing more, but it took time for her to learn how.
Pediatric GI doc as soon as possible. In the meantime, formular. She needs calories.
Has she ever chewed? In other words is the sucking new for her or are you just introducing table food now? I agree with the others, call the doc asap. If it's just new to her, maybe just try chopping the food up into tiny pea-size peices, and only put a little on her tray at a time (so she can't play with it and you can more easily monitor intake).
