[quote=Anonymous]OP. PP who keeps talking about re-lactating thanks I seriously gave it thought over the last few days but my DH is so against it for my sake and I know it would be very difficult. Please don't try to make me feel any more guilty than I already am feeling about stopping pumping at 6.5 months. I was a zombie with the exclusive pumping and working full-time. However, had I known that DD would reduce her intake this much (we still don't know if it's stopping the BM that did it), I would have continued. That's just 20-20.

We saw Dr Sondheimer but she had already, it seemed to me, made up her mind based on what the resident passed on, before she entered the room, that DD has behavioral issues vis a vis feeding and that reflux meds are no good. I am back to square to one. I feel that there is something wrong structurally/anatomically. Weak sphincter. Some element of dysphagia whether it is due to the milk protein in the Gerber Soothe we gave or due to damage from reflux earlier or could be just birth or something else. I may try getting in to see an ENT.

Now in addition to the feeding issues which continue (new bottles - tommee tippee and podee ordered just in case those help), we are also concerned in the delay in development. Not sitting up independently, not crawling, no consonants, rolling only on the left side and what I see as hypertonia - the last two have led me to research CP which is real scary. The hypertonia (taut muscles) was also mentioned by the lady who came from the county for the initial evaluation though she is not an OT.
