We used to nipple babies on a schedule but no longer do. We use a 'cue-based' system that uses a baby's signs of interest in feeding to decide when and how long to feed a baby. This does away with a lot of anxiety for both the baby and the family as each feed is no longer measured in terms of how good or bad he did. I hate to see what you are going through, and even worse, the concern that he may need long term intervention. Is there a possibility that you can ask his medical team to allow him to feed on a demand schedule for a 2 day trial period? This means that he would be able to take as much or as little as he wants, as often as he wants. Usually once a baby shows that he can take a feeding, like your son, it is very successful. He may take just a small amount at one or two feeds, but then wake up more frequently. In the end, its the intake that's important. It won't hurt him to try something like this as it won't be a long enough period of time to dehydrate or cause excess weight loss. Make sure the feeding tube is out during this trial. If I were you, I would refuse any surgery until he was able to prove that he is not able to take in enough to thrive. I wish you all the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785273691606822424.post-41656457533750072772009-02-12T18:16:00.000-06:002009-02-12T18:16:00.000-06:00I have three boys and all three of them had reflux...I have three boys and all three of them had reflux.
