Hello all,

I started my son, Kardyn, who is five yrs old and is a syndrome baby. He is non

verbal. He makes a lot of noises but no actual words unless you count the

occasional mama and dada that he doesn't really seem to understand. I started

him on the NV on the 11th and on day five which was yesterday he started

sticking out his tongue, way out. He even seems to be what I would call

" exploring " his mouth. He will even put a sucker on his back teeth and try to

bite it, which he has never done any of these things before. The ST and I could

never get him to stick out his tongue. He could move it, but would never

actually put it out there like that. He was actually drooling a little

yesterday. I had started him out on a half scoop once per day then moved him up

to 3/4 of a scoop once per day. This is when I noticed his tongue and what he

was doing with his mouth.

I am not sure if this is just a coincidence or if this is actually the NV

helping him. Either way I am happy. My friend, who is the one who purchased the

NV for him to try sent me some post about kids seeming to find out they have a

tongue and I must admit that I was impressed and it does seem that Kardyn is

following the same path as some of the other children.

Can anyone tell me how many kids, who are non verbal, have feeding issues as in

not using the back teeth and not wanting food back there, and not really seeming

to know that their tongue is to be used to aide in feeding, are on the NV and

have had some similar results? I would also like to know what seems to be common

as in what comes next after " finding " their tongue?

I would really appreciate your feedback on this. I haven't told the ST that I

have him on the NV but I called her this morning to tell her about him doing

this with his tongue she was shocked.

Thank you all very much for your help,

a Way
