He has a really hard time swallowing anything too solid or too watery, something around the consistency of yogourt is ideal. He can't take anything with any crunch to it either, it hurts his head. I'm going to start by trying to give him some meat sauce with some small-shaped pasta, overcooked to make it easier on him. Some other ideas would be greatly appreciated, I'd like to be able to give him as much variety as possible.
