Hi Cherisse, I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing probs in the eating department. So are we! My son, Gussy, had 9wks with an NG tube after birth. He is now 19months old however has NEVER seemingly enjoyed eating or drinking. In late October last year Gussy completely stopped eating and drinking and to this day still won't consume anything other than a few sips of water. Tis a HUGE HUGE worry for us. We have had an NG tube in since November and that remains our only way of feeding him. We keep offering him food and drinks at mealtimes, but he won't swallow a thing. We have an enormous number of specialists and experts (17 at last count!) helping us but Gussy has them perplexed. I keep wondering whether he would eat if the NG tube wasn't there. I imagine that it can't be comfortable having it dangling down the back of his throat. I am keen to read some helpful replies to your post.
