Aw, I'm sorry you haven't gotten a clear answer and that things are still so rough. I guess you have to just keep trying different things. Hang in there.

OP. I meant goat milk powder in water added to her foods. We are also starting therapy next week for her developmental delays but those are all due to her starvation per the evaluation.

OP. Thank you PPs for checking. I really appreciate that. I know it's been a while since I posted and I don't think anyone would want to even click a thread with so many pages

We are still struggling a lot. I am now working part-time from home since we have not been able to find a great nanny. We saw three different specialists and they all had different opinions. She is on Zantac but honestly I don't think it makes any difference as her milk intake is still low and she can sometimes vomit out the contents of the previous evening's feed the next day just because she doesn't want to take the bottle. She has constipation and the ped said to give prunes and pears and milk of magnesia. We are doing the MOM since yesterday but that is just symptomatic relief.

I have a gut feeling she has motility issues and wish I could give her something to improve her digestion overall, to move things better and so she feels hungry enough.

She is still stuck on stage 1 purees and needs to be fed with a dropper. Takes very little. Her ped said she needs at least 750 calories. We are lucky if we get 350 calories in her on a given day. Milk is still 3-4 bottles and total intake is about 12 oz. She hasn't dropped percentiles any more though (about 8=9%).

I am not even sure if it's Milk protein intolerance and am so tempted to go back to Gerber Soothe or even try goat milk protein since we need a solution.

We are using the Dr Brown's bottles. Any suggestions of other bottles we can try?

Another PP here just checking on you - how are you and your baby doing?

OP - I have been thinking about you. I hope things are improving!

I hope baby is ok!!

Just checking on you op - how is your baby doing? Are you holding up ok?

My 6, 7 month old didn't take to solids and I didn't push it. Continue this another two months. Then at 9.5 months I started to focus a whole lot more energy into it. I thought I was ok because my baby was slow to take solids but took some. I thought it would improve. I tried this and that. Meanwhile, the relative weight went from 60% to 40% to 25% to 10% to 5% now 3%. It;s been my biggest stressor for the past three months. We go to the pediatrician every month to get her weight checked and try new things. It's been a constant battle to try to increase the weight and I wish I had tried more things when the baby was 6,7 months.

Just checking on you OP - how are you and your LO holding up?

Not OP. But bumping so OP sees the generous PP's offer. I hope OP you are doing well and your LO has received some help.

OP, I have not read all of the posts but I got DS used to nutramigen by mixing breastmilk and nutramigen slowly increasing the amount of Nutramigen. I am about to throw away quite a bit of soy and dairy free breastmilk. I don't know how I could get it to you or if you would want it. Do not feel guilty for quitting pumping. It is soul sucking and you had no way of knowing that your child would react this way to formula. I am so sorry you are going through this.

Has anyone addressed the nanny force feeding? That is very concerning to me.

No. I am the one who quoted the chipotle post, which I actually thought was unnecessarily cruel.

I am the person you're quoting. Yes, I meant the mean posts were clearly someone sock puppeting. I was not counting your post.

I am one of the PPs who has found this thread helpful. My son has some of the issues OP describes and the different suggestions and experiences the many PPs have shared have been very useful to me. I just hope the one or two evil posters find some other place to thread crap.

OP - this is going to sound strange, but I am the PP with the tongue tied baby/went to Sheila Skinner. Before we figured out what was wrong, distraction was the absolute best thing to get DD to eat. So, I would actually take a little walk up the block holding her with the bottle and she would seem to forget that she hated the bottle so much that she would eat. Just trying to brainstorm things to help you while you wait until you get in with a good doctor.
