She doesn't have CP, but she was born 14 weeks early and had/has oral aversion which caused her to need tube feeding. Anyway, in the very early stages of feeding therapy we started letting her play with her food. She still hates to have food on her hands and requires us to wipe them clean frequently, sometimes even during her feeds, she's MUCH, MUCH better.

Other food suggestions: jello, jelly and ice cream. We used a mat under the high chair - no, it was a plastic table cloth with felt underside. It was especially easy to gather and shake the crumbs outside. Excellent suggestion, Katy. LOVE the photos – yes, the one of you, too!
