Carol, Though your case definitely has some unusual organic twists to compound the issues, I would be *highly* suspicious that this mom is doing Ezzo and just not telling you! The obsession with making baby wait for feeds, longer naps inspite of the evidence, lack of compliance with the care plan, and most especially her insistence that SHE feed baby his solids rather than letting him self-feed (that's Babywise 2, for all who are not initiated). Consider asking her outright, Carol. Ezzo families are often coached not to tell anyone who might not be supportive of what they are doing. I could be wrong, but there are lots of red flags in your story. Saddest part of all about your story: if this mom doesn't change her approach to her baby, there could be even more trouble coming her way. We are now aware of several cases of older babies beginning to refuse to feed once solids and "high chair manners" have been instituted. The battle over who feeds baby and how baby must behave apparently is causing some babies to shut down and even become FTT (obviously for emotional reasons), to the point that a couple have required tube feeding. If this baby is already doing so poorly, I shudder to think what could happen next with an over-controlling parent at the helm.
