We treated a child with intestinal failure who consumed solids on a spoon but not liquids from a cup. We used spoon‐to‐cup fading, which consisted of taping a spoon to a cup and then gradually moving the bowl of the spoon closer to the edge of the cup. Spoon‐to‐cup fading was effective for increasing consumption of liquids from a cup.
