He will eat - but not drink.<br /><br />we kept adding rice to "blenderized" food to help him eat. Does she have a nissen? We just got this totally amazing backpack for Alexander's Joey - super light and small. It makes taking him places for overnight a total awesomely easy thing.<br /><br />5. we've also tried the "cut out cup" I hate all things drinking. JUST DRINK ALREADY! AARRGGHH!! ok. whew. glad it is not just me. but she is so cute. <br /><br />6. oh - and if you haven't already - you should look into some button buddies for around her g-tube site. it makes the site so clean. Contact me about any of this stuff.<br /><br />Kristen @ www.alittlesomethingforme.comKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225291652604462660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369867321501732562.post-89259032501170875092011-10-23T19:12:49.004-07:002011-10-23T19:12:49.004-07:00Kaetlyn, too, is a big fan of the shoe and sock re...Kaetlyn, too, is a big fan of the shoe and sock removal. Then, she promptly picks up her foot and tries to 'lay' the sock or shoe on her foot...to no avail. I think it's funny that Josie does that too!

She never wears anything on her feet at home.

They are the ones that are disposable and they tend to leak but she loves them. Also, I bought what was said to be the closest to the breast in bottles, very expensive, and she never took a bottle. I went through a small fortune trying to find her a bottle that she liked and finally gave up and only nursed, which was fine. Kid's know what they like. :)Twilson9608https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245911547204280399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369867321501732562.post-70311236837306294572011-10-21T06:13:14.808-07:002011-10-21T06:13:14.808-07:00This is a LONG shot here but my son, Elijah, was f...This is a LONG shot here but my son, Elijah, was fed through an NG tube for the first 6 months of his life. We used a Habberman feeder which allowed me to squirt the milk into his mouth without him doing any of the work. As we progressed and he started catching on he would suck the nipple a few times and then stop and I was able to squirt some more milk in to remind him of the goodness that was his reward for sucking. We probably used it for about 3 months before he finally got a hang of it and we were able to switch him to a normal bottle. Again, this was when he was an infant and drinking about 2-4 oz (and I think that is as much fluid as it can hold) but it may be worth a try. It was recommended to me by another mom, not a therapist. It worked for us and Eli has been tube free for nearly a year an a half. Good luck!Blessed with Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764109747087733076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369867321501732562.post-13576785719580236062011-10-21T06:06:55.886-07:002011-10-21T06:06:55.886-07:00My best friend is currently in the process of tryi...My best friend is currently in the process of trying to get her 10 month old to eat and off the G-tube, so I love hearing about Josie's progress.<br /><br />Your girls are BEAUTIFUL!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076396277542016458noreply@blogger.com
