My 6 month old daughter has been on a feeding tube since she was released from the hospital at 8 wks old. She has trouble with "toungue thrust" and coordination. A weekly therapist watches me try giving her a bottle(she may drink 1/2 ounce per feeding). I also have been giving her cereal mixed with fruit/veggies. She may eat 1 T. in fifteen minutes. I've tried different nipples. Any suggestions please!!!
