Subject: Storing Food in Cheeks

I don't have any experience with Down's Syndrome babies and solid foods,
however my own son stuffed his cheeks with food and then after a few minutes,
would spit it all out. This behavior went on until he was a little over a year
old. He didn't swallow any solid foods until then, but he seemed to like
stuffing his cheeks. He never ate anything from a spoon which I held -- it had
to be "finger food" from his own fingers (everything became finger food for
him). His weight gain was never a problem, however I do remember him really
slimming down around 9 months.
He seemed more willing to put food in his mouth if he was not sitting in the
high chair -- in fact, we joked about that we might start feeding him like a
chicken: scattering Cheerios on the floor. It seemed that he just had to
"accidently" find the food, and then he would eat it (or store it in his
cheeks when he was younger).
My point is that storing food in the cheeks, might be a normal behavior.
