I simply have to say --- THIS IS RIDICULOUS.  Tube feeding as a
looming threat, just because the baby at 6 months doesn't eat much
solid food?  Absurd.

If this dietician spent more time with successful breastfeeding
couples she would know it is common for some normal, healthy babies
to refuse solids at 6 months and beyond.  In LLL we frequently see
thriving 8-, 9-, 10-month olds and older who eat very little besides
mother's milk.
