Please Help me!!!

That sounds exactly like our story- literally. My dd also had laryngomalacia with stridor. She coughed and gagged alot and hated eating. She never cried to be fed, but cried when I tried to feed her. She’d arch, and scream and pull away, and show Sandifer’s symptoms. She developed a feeding aversion from uncontrolled reflux, we had to sleep feed, and our whole existence was to avoid a feeding tube. We managed to keep her weight up by sleep feeding, otherwise she wouldn’t eat. I’d lock myself in her room every day for hours, close the blackout drapes, rock her to a calm state, and try to feed her. It took hours to get her to take 1-3 ounces, and giving meds was also a nightmare. She alo wouldn’t even take solids when we tried to start at 6 months. We started feeding therapy at 8 months, and continued until 15 months. At 8 months we started with a cup, and went right to letting her feed herself, because she wouldn’t let anyone feed her. Our feeding therapist was very good, but it was a long road. My advice would be to make sure that the reflux is well controlled before starting solids or cup feeding or the aversion may just move into all realms of feeding like ours did. Check out http://www.marci-kids.com to read about PPIs and meds and dosing. I believe that babies with feeding aversions need to be dosed higher to make sure that the pain is under control. Once that happens, then hopefully you can start feeding therapy, or move on to cup and spoon feeding. How much medication is he on, and what type and form. We were using a compound for a long time and that was part of the problem as well. Good luck.
