- Disengagement or refusal to nurse or bottle feed, by facial grimacing or turning away from food source
- Difficulty transitioning from pureed to solid foods or from bottle feeding to cup drinking
- Taking longer than 30 minutes to finish meals or snacks
- Refusing foods of certain textures
- Holding food in mouth or spitting out partially chewed food
