Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hi My SGA baby 14 month old now eats very well with spoon during the day so I was hoping she could wean off the tube gradually as she gets older and doesnt need to eat overnight. Now I read that RSS kids should never be without food for more than 4 hours so I am thinking may be (she is not diagnosed with RSS by the way). So for those RSS kids without tube are they awaken to eat or given a bottle every 4 hours? Upto what age is this required? Also, anyone have statistics on what percentage of RSS kids need tube feedings and around what age finally do their feeding problems go away (MAGIC webpage says feeding problems during infancy so I assume they eventually go away). BTW, my daughter has NG tube for 11 months, her GI has not proposed G-tube yet. Thanks Sabina mother of Naomi (14 months SGA 13 lbs 24 inches) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
