No person would want to take a Baby (10 months old still counts in my book) out anywhere twice a week let alone to a therapist unless they were desperate. You should point out what a major pain in the ass it is for you to keep doing this and you are doing it for your child to help him learn to eat more foods.

It is tough when family is in denial that something anything could be wrong with the health of a young family member. It is common to deny it if the problem is genetic and the chances that the person in denial also has that problem are high. THEY survived to adulthood without special care, why can't your child...

My parents always told me I was a "good" baby. However, in retrospect they had to do a lot of accommodations for me because of my sensory problems even as a newborn. They just didn't think of them as a big deal because my sister was a "bad" baby (shrieking neverending).

Although you don't want to torture your baby, you may need to have your mom be responsible for the care of your child for two days without your intervention (you should take those two days off and go on a vacation where you can do something you couldn't do with a baby in tow). Then hopefully she will see all the problems that you have seen with your baby for herself. Provide her with the list of things to do to care for him when he has problems. Provide her with the "safe" food (even if she "tries" something else).

If two days seem too much, then just take one day off. She needs to cover for you for at least one meal for the baby.

All caretakers, when dealing with any disability, need at least one day off a month to themselves or they break themselves. It sounds like you are reaching that stressed mark and you really need some time to yourself. Many young parents need the time off and think that it isn't allowed to them for some reason.
