Talk to your doc: Have you discussed this with your pediatrician? Some children prefer to drink their calories and this is not wise...In that case they need to be fed food before given fluid. Some kids have texture problems, some it is behavioral. She may need an oral motor evauationl or just behavior modification...Either way it is a good idea to start with a visit with your pediatrician.
