I'm looking for a little advice ... my 2 year old step daughter has started some eating behaviors that seem a little off to me. She will either tuck food back in her cheek and not chew or swallow it (for hours if i would let her) or she'll eat and then stick her fingers down her throat to force herself to vomit afterward. My husbands relationship with the child's mother is not good so we really don't even know if this is happening all the time or only when she is with us. One thing we do know is she'll eat french fries or other "fast food" type, but a home cooked meal is generally out of the question. We've also noticed that since she started this behavior, she wants to sleep all the time. Anyone else out there ever have to deal with something of this nature?? I'm looking for any and all suggestions as at times this can be very frustrating for me!
