Aaah, the old poly joule!!! I have some! maybe I can start spiking his meals! He is eating solids really well, but as soon as I try to wean that tube he struggles to gain weight. He had FTT too which is why he has the tube..
Ahh yes, stop gaining weight when I try to wean the tube, it took us 6 months from when she started to eat solids to removing the tube but she did have an aversion to drinking - anything, so we had to ensure she was getting enough fluids. If it helps, when it did happen it came out of nowhere one day she pulled out the tube (which yes had happened a million times before) and we just never had to put it back in, we did have to push ourselves past our comfort zone, but it worked. It was odd really there was a documentary on TV the day after her tube came out about the place in Austria that specializes in getting children off of NGTs and it just gave us the confidence to push a little more than we usually would.
