I gave water to my kids with the three meals a day. I gave them milk an hour or so after breakfast and lunch. Then, about 30 minutes before bed. I have two friends who needed to G-tube their son's because they couldn't gain weight. They both just needed a little extra help. With the help of the G-tube and feeding therapy for a few years... They are both a thriving preteen and grade schooler. I hope you find answers quickly as I know this is weighing heavily on your heart.
Feeding problems.
Hello parents! My son recently went to food therapy and they found out that my son is not doing good with his swallowing especially his age (12months) they’re thinking maybe it could be an acid reflux since he throws up when he eats or it could be something internal problem. We scheduled for a specialist for a swallow study and G.I specialist. I want to try different things like giving him only formula after lunch and after dinner. His doctors wants him in formula since he’s not eating 3x a day. But i was thinking maybe it could the milk that stopping him from eating? I noticed also that he is swallowing food without gagging and throwing up when he likes it. So i want to try different method. Give him milk after lunch and dinner . But his pedia said don’t do it cause we could starve him since he’s not eating regularly yet. How many times a day you give your 12month old milk? Is 2x a day be enough?

I won't lie to you, my kid didn't have any interest in solids till i stopped nursing him at 20 months. I was the same way, "he will starve if i don't nurse him because he gags and throws up most solids" unless.... He liked the food. He would eat a pound of blueberries if i let him. He would eat 3 eggs in one sitting. But most anything else, he would gag and spit it out. So i just quit nursing. No bottles. Like magic, this kid started eating EVERYTHING. There wasn't much he wouldn't eat. He's 2.5 now and will ask for carrots or peas for breakfast. No joke. Not saying to not go to your appointments and make sure he's ok, but a hungry kid will eat.
