My daughter developed a problem with eating after she was eating great 3 meals a day but still no weight gain for 4 months and ending up so far under the charts it wasn't funny.

Anyway, we went on the homeward HENS program, and gave polyjoule and calogen orally with her food in the effort to avoid nasal gastric tubes. I got better weight gains on calogen by far (and i still have a tin of polyjoule if you want it??). We also gave milk with paediasure which also helped.

I found having to force feed her and then her food issues really hard to deal with, i found meal times so stressful, but we had a nanny for a while, and she did all the feedings and made it really fun for DD, and that helped a lot and now she is back to eating nicely.

We had the support of a great paediatrician, paediatric dietician and gastro-enterologist also... but it was a very stressful time.

I know somebody else whose daughter had huge issues with weight gain, and she ended up insisting on the peg and her DD kept pulling out the NGT - she said it was a lot easier. She also said she felt like there was something wrong, everyone else thought it was behavioural, but she insisted on a barium swallow and it turns out the reflux had burnt a whole in her oesophegaus, which was the reason behind her behaviour with food.

Anyway, if you want any recommendations etc or support feel free to PM me.
