Hello Wise Ones,

I have a question. In the speech/OT feeding therapy world I have heard it said (more than once and even from speakers at continuing ed courses) that delayed introduction of solids, beyond 6 months, may lead to/contribute to feeding disorders due to the lack of sensory input from different textures as well as lack of oral motor practice/experience manipulating a non-liquid bolus. What do you all think? I'm especially curious to hear from those who did not introduce solids until your children were significantly older than 6 months. Has anyone observed a child that was averse to textures or had difficulty chewing or other evidence of impaired oral motor skills after starting solids later than 6 months? 

I searched the archives and didn't really find an answer to my question.

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your help in bringing my professional worlds (speech pathology and lactation consulting) together!
