Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 has a g tube and soon I expect they are going to want to start getting him to eat orally. we have tried a bottle a few times but cardiologist had said dont push it till he is bigger so we continue with the pacifier and bottle on limited basis he seems to really hate the bottle (yes I know why and all that but today I let him taste a candy cane (just small taste to see what he would do)he went crazy on it he reminded me of a baby pig or something even tried to grab it out of my hand to keep it in his mouth(pretty good for a kid early intervention said could no do this and everyone else said was blind)has anyone tried just skipping the bottle all together and just moving on to baby food???I mean as long as he has the g tube to ensure he gets every thing he needs can this work?? it seem if he has a choice he doesn't gag at all .....he goes back to cardiologist on monday and will call the pediatriction ask them this as well ...... just wondering thank you mary... http://community.webtv.net/maryechick12/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
