Simply fill the tube with soft foods, such as applesauce, yogurt, stage 1 baby foods, etc.   Use the Bite Tube Tip to establish the concept of needing to bite and chew to eat food. It's also an excellent way to incorporate real food as you practice the motor planning of eating skills.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bite Tube Tip comes in two different versions: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.liveandthrive.com.au\/products\/ark-bite-tube-tip-for-the-z-vibe%C2%AE-smooth\" title=\"Bite Tube Tip for Z-Vibe (Smooth)\"\u003esmooth (lavender)\u003c\/a\u003e or textured (blue). For individuals with oral defensiveness, start with the smooth tip and gradually progress to the textured one. For individuals who need more proprioceptive input to the mouth, the textured one provides both tactile input and added resistance.  For individuals with a weak bite, start with a hollow Bite Tube Tip and progress to a solid Bite-n-Chew Tip (Bite-n-Chew Tip sold separately).  Use any of these tips to improve chewing motion and jaw strength. If desired, you can trim the Bite Tube Tip to a shorter length with a pair of scissors.  A wonderful addition to any feeding \/ oral motor therapy toolbox!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, or latex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures approximately 3 inches long and just under .5 inch in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis listing is for the royal blue Hard Bite Tube Tip (Textured) - sold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher-safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo be used with any Z-Vibe® or Z-Grabber® (sold separately)\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e this therapeutic tool should be used under direct adult supervision at all times.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-region=\"product_above_info_table\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productView-table\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productView-table-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productView-table-header\"\u003eWeight: 0.05 LBS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ARK Therapeutic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48530723143907,"sku":"ZVBTTTX","price":14.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/0099\/8115\/files\/VBTRoyalAW__90596.jpg?v=1774227521","url":"https:\/\/www.liveandthrive.com.au\/products\/ark-bite-tube-tip-for-the-z-vibe%c2%ae-textured","provider":"Live and Thrive Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
