Good Morning,

I am writing about my son Sammy. He is 9 months old. He has GERD and DGE. He had a fundoplication in Nov. and a Pyloraplasty 1/30. He also has a g-tube. He is now able to tolerat5e feeds and has finally started to gain a little weight. The problem is he will not take more than 10 oz. by his bottle. Also, he gags himself like crazy! We do have a feeding appt., OT/PT evalulation, but it is not till the end of April. I am beside myself trying to get my baby to eat. he also has allergy issues so food selection is slow. He eats about 1 1/2 jars of fruit from a spoon. He gags on baby cereal. I just feel like he is depending on his tube to satisfy him more every day. Are there any exercises or anything at all I can do to help him? We have tried a sippy cup without success.

I am open to anything.

Thank you,
Kerri
