[quote=Anonymous]Couple of other ideas: maybe a swallow study is in order? Dysphagia is a possibility. I never did a swallow study with my failure to thrive DD and regretted it. I still thickened her formula with Simply Thick and it did help so I think she may have had that issue. Simply Thick is no longer a recommended product but you may want to ask your gastro about alternatives. The other thing that helped us was to have someone else feed her. Sadly she associate us with the pain of feeding and did better with a very patient daycare provider. Broke my heart but it's what helped her turn the corner. Acquisition of solid food eating skills took a long time too, butt now she is a healthy 8 yr old with a great appetite. Seriously, I thought we would never get here so I totally know what you are going through. Hang in there.[/quote]
