[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was close to her third birthday and only eating two flavors of purees and 24 is of formula a day. I had tried everything. I finally got her enrolled in a PPEC daycare center. Google that and see if there is one in your area. Easter Seals may be able to help.

My daughter's issue was strictly behavioral and was control issue. No one knows why. It took putting her in a different environment with a CNA who had experience with feeding issues.

They had her feeding herself three meals a day in a matter of weeks. After four months they got her drinking regularly from a cup so that I could get her off the bottle at home too. It is such a huge relief for our family.

[b]Children's National also has a feeding program but you have to drive them there for every meal for weeks.

Good luck to you, I know how hard this struggle is!![/quote]

This is simply not true.  My child was in the feeding program for 2 years.  We met with the doctor once a month during snack time and talked about the issues and ways to solve them, new strategies.  We did not take our child to Children's for 3 meals a day.  If we needed to communicate during the month with the doctor because one of the new strategies was not working, I called and she called back.  [/quote]
