[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry - I went through something similar and it was truly awful so I completely empathize. We saw GI docs but we had a breakthrough with a speech pathologist that specialized in baby eating issues. Our problem was the sucking (though there were theories of food aversion and allergies too - ended up being incorrect for us), which might not be your issue. But it's worth a shot to see a feeding specialist speech pathologist or a pediatric ENT. We went to Sheila Skinner at Georgetown, but I'm not sure she's still there. I understand that Children's has a feeding clinic and there's Kennedy Krieger too - we were about to go down that road before we were able to turn the corner. My child was a preemie who was on an NT tube for 2.5 weeks post-birth, but we eventually moved past our problems so there is hope, even if it feels overwhelming now. So, my advice is to ask the doctors if a speech pathologist or ENT might be worth a try.[/quote]
