Hello,
I am new to this board and I am looking for advice with feeding issues. My son Preston is 5 yrs. old, he has had a g-tube for two years and we are tring to wean him off, he only had to use it at night. The doctor stated not to use the button for six months and see what happens. We are in month 4 and he has lost two pounds already. Do you have any ideas as far as how I can get more calories in without the night feedings. I sent a nutrionist a three day food count and placed a call to his doctor to see what he thinks. Any ideas would be very helpful.

Thank You
Alicia:)
