This paper describes the dramatic resolution of a refractory feeding problem of an eighteen month old boy. He had spent 199 days in hospital prior to treatment and none following this, except for a brief period for a tonsillectomy. He has regained his developmental pace. The authors have attempted to isolate their hypotheses and the interventions derived from them. The parents reflection on the therapy, four months after the first session, provides a commentary on our commentary.
