[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone for your advice and comments. I am definitely not rushing into a swallow study or anything else but just want to know what the options are out there for investigating what's going on. And my concerns there are not about BFing but DS's reflux and overall feeding issues on bottle as well as breast. It's my hope that treating the reflux with different meds will take care of his discomfort, but if not, then I might seek out other answers to make him feel better and eat better and rule out anything more serious.

I am disappointed that BFing hasn't worked for us and want my son to have breast milk if possible because I think it would be best for him, and he seems to have a sensitive system. EPing is very, very tough and makes it harder to attend to DS's needs sometimes, so my desire to work out BFing at this late point is at least partially motivated by logistical factors, not grief over the loss of BFing.

The OT who identified his low tone has 25 years of experience and works with many kids with ASD and other conditions, many of which involve low tone, so I trust her.
