Endoscopy Resuts!!!

You could switch PPIs but if you read through them, there is an immediate action of the drug and a more longterm cure, about 8 weeks or so (If i remember correctly on how PPIs work)… so she may be right there.

Hailey’s feeding aversion was full force from two months on- I’d say a feeding refusal more than an aversion. She was literally impossible to feed. I had to feed her asleep through the day and night, and it was a frustrating affair, b/c she even arched and refused in her sleep. She also NEVER cried out of hunger- I think that she learned that feeding hurts so she just never wanted to feed (and hence the never crying for food/bottle). So basically, we sleep fed, and most importantly, we started FEEDING THERAPY. I can’t say enough about how critical this was. The feeding therapist really helped us to get through the feeding refusal. It was a very slow process, and only until somewhat recently- somewhere around 20 months, did we start to really see some improvements. She now eats and drinks and takes a bottle willingly for supplement, but on her own terms. She’s extremely fussy and picky eater.

In terms of Adi, I would definitely look into feeding therapy. I’d also consider if she may be MSPI if you haven’t looked into that already. I’d also ask her GI for a current plan of action re: the inflammation. Does he plan to re-evaluate at any point to make sure things heal? Our feeding therapist felt strongly that the inflammation should be controlled before starting feeding therapy. I know that others have said that their kids always have a bit of inflammation and they’ve been in feeding therapy anyhow. Good luck.
