Lara, you've said it before to me, the gaining weight aspect of CF is one of the most stressful parts, not to mention getting those enzymes into her.
I know how hard it is to try to feed a child that refuses to eat, it is a sad nightmare, somehow it is something we as mothers instinctively take very personally, I just felt/feel like a big failure most of the time because my child can't gain weight.

It does sound behavioral, and I know like you that the more you stress that the more they turn it against you..Felix will refuse the spoon I'm holding then I put it dow and he'll put it in his own mouth.

I was thinking that maybe Alana is like Felix and likes to feed herself? One thing that works for us is a bowl of food he likes with his spooning happily (a hit and miss affair still, although he is getting pretty good now)

and then I get a spoon and sneek in spoonfuls while he thinks he's doing it all on his own..maybe you could get in enzymes this way?

I am really happy that she is still gaining weight despite the refusals, but I know it wears you down..

I noticed you had been here a bit less lately, and I wondered how you guys were going, you know I understand a part of what you are going through (I guess no one can ever understand full another persons' journey with this stuff anyhow)

Hope your new ideas work and you get some time out too, food is the worst thing..I would be happy exclusively BFing felix for the rest of his days it's one thing he never refuses! (I might have breasts to my knees and social problems, but hay I would never ahve to coax him to eat again!!)
