I’m at a loss now.

My almost 2 year old doesn’t talk as much and she doesn’t touch or put food in her mouth I have to bland her food up for her and she’s completely off of baby food and on food we eat but I have to bland it what steps should I take to get her to be able to touch and put food in her mouth and get her to talk more???

Look into speech therapy for both.

Not to scare you but have you gotten her evaluated? Seems like it could be Autism. My nephew was the same way. My son also has autism but had different symptoms

Talk to her doctor. They may want to evaluate her, especially if she’s back tracking from milestones she already reached. Don’t stress it’s nothing you’re doing. You’re still a great mama, just talk to the dr and find what steps are best for your little one:)

Speech and feeding therapy if you can get a refferal!

That is how my youngest is she doesn’t talk as much

I would try to get her in to be evaluated as soon as possible. Your county should have an early intervention program for a free screening, evaluation, and referral set up. They would be able to recommend occupational and speech therapists

What do you by you have to bland it ? She won’t eat unless it’s bland?

@BoyMom I think she meant blend not bland

@Daija thank you! I meant blend

@BoyMom correct I have to blend her food for her to eat and I have to put it in one of the dr. Brown sippy cups with straws that bend

@Caitlyn my sons similar he’s currently in OT for food therapy and speech for a speech delay. I’d recommend evaluations for both. My son will now let food be near him and occasionally put it to his mouth and his speech has increased significantly. The progress for food therapy is a lot slower

My almost 2 didn't talk much. Turned 2 and talked the same week 😀 She is learning so much. Also, I blend for her many things. She enjoys it. But she's grabbing things. Just keep putting different colors and shapes of food for her in a highchair and don't give up. She might just be more careful.

My youngest will be 2 in 8 days

My daughter will be two in 4 days and she just have a couple words she says not that much of a talk and it’s normal .. kids differ from each other and I know because she’s my only one and normally she’s only with me all days and I’m busy most of the time that’s why she doesn’t talk that much
