I have a 11 (almost 12 Mo) Mo old who refused solid food until two days ago. He will eat maybe four bites if we're lucky (in a day). We have tried just about everything. He was born at 34 weeks and was in NICU for a week on the vent for two days. He was also diagnosed with GER and would never take the meds. He never took a bottle and nursed every two hours. He now nurses about every four and is really healthy and growing well. (24 lb. 2oz) He seems not to miss the food in his diet. We keep trying to introduce different foods at different textures and he just isn't buying it! When he was 3 Mo old he got a flu bug and I called the Pedi who said to give him Pedialyte, I explained he would not take a bottle or anything that wasn't mom made. He then said in a very condescending tone "you mean he won't take a bottle or you won't give him one". I must say I didn't deal with that well. So after that the Pedi blamed all his feeding problems on breastfeding to spite my efforts in educating him. We now have a new Pedi who is very supportive. I would love to hear more please keep the updates coming. Michelle Ramsey CBE [log in to unmask]
