Thankyou Yael, we are trying to avoid the tubes too, she has had the tube feeding before but not due to her weight due to her coming out of induced coma back in August. It did nothing for her then and I cant see it helping her now. The pead thinks the same, but I am worried if he sends us to the childrens hospital they may suggest it. I am really hoping the pediasure helps with the weight. They are using her length for the weight she should be which is at a 6mth old weight. I have never heard of the hens supplement. I am sure they called it something different when they were giving the tube feeds in hospital.
V is having the pediasure with cows milk, which we were told to do by her dietician. The only problem is, you make it with 190ml milk the the pediasure, and she will be lucky to drink 100ml, sometimes only 50ml. She will have upto about 400ml in a day. So not really that much especially when she isnt eating.
Sorry you have had to see your little baby like that, it is very heartbreaking. I am glad things seem to be going well atm, I hope this 2mth trial proves that she can put on weight on her own. My fingers are crossed and I it all works out fine. I am so very sorry you have had to go though what you have, your poor little girl. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Beema - Thankyou for the PM, I had a look at that website, and what people had mentioned about pediasure, it helped somewhat reading the similar reactions,such as turning off food. One had mentioned that once used to it they start eating again, so fingers crossed that happens. Thankyou again hun.
I really appreciate your comments ladies, I was hoping I wasnt going to be the only on BB, that is using it. Thanks.
