Preparing child for VFSS (already on thickened fluids)
Hello, my 3yo will have a videofluoroscopy in 4 weeks. Has been on thickened fluids level 2 since first VFSS a year ago. Won't level 0 / 1 come come as a shock during test if he is used to thickener?
Any advice appreciated on how best to prepare, specific to children or not.... wean down gradually each week before the test... Occasionally practice sips of different water thickness to try to explain what's coming... Or don't prepare at all?
Despite asking we haven't been given straightforward answer so far. Thank you!
