[quote=Anonymous]PP who went to Sheila Skinner / ENT.  We also went to Georgetown GI and didn't find it helpful.  We did a swallow study and they all thought it was behavioral too.  I think I mentioned earlier that my ped thought DD's problem was infant anorexia and basically told me everything was my fault.  Sheila Skinner was SO helpful and basically fixed DD's problem along with the ENT (Dr. Harley).  I know how frustrating it can be when doctors dismiss you and you know something's wrong.  In our case, DD had severe tongue tie - sch a ridiculously simple problem that nobody caught (not the NICU, lactation consultants, ped, or three GI docs).  The first thing Sheila Skinner did was actually inspect DD's mouth, which nobody else had really done for more than a second.  It's so infuriating that the doctors didn't start with the basics.  What I'm getting at is even though it's unlikely that your child has tongue tie, the child may have something else that the doctors are missing, hence why I keep pushing for a speech pathologist.  She actually watched us try to feed DD and made all sorts of observations from that.  This is something nobody else did.[/quote]
