Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 How is he with ice? Do you think he might suck on an ice cube? Maybe you could get small Dixie cups or old fashion freezable ice cube trays. We used to take 1 part juice and 3 parts water (just to keep the sugar low to keep all the intestinal critters as low as possible) and let it start to set. Then we’d put popsicle sticks in them and make pops. We used the mini bathroom type of Dixie cups, so it wasn’t too big, too sloppy or too wasteful. For some reason, he liked how it felt in his mouth. It was great sensory stuff too because he had to apply pressure and crunch to bite it. We had to watch him though, to make sure he didn’t choke on any little chunks. In our old place, when he was younger, we put a filter on the water line to the automatic ice maker. Then we’d crush up some ice and pour a bit of Libby’s juice over it like it was a shaved ice treat! Gave him a spoon and a bib! Hope it helps somebody, Lesa W, FLA We have to do the best we can.
