[tri-med] Need to get info (michelle, jude)

<<however if i was you i'd tell the dev ped i wanted
to work with 
a
nutrionist/feeding specialist/dietitician for 4-6
months before i 
decided if
the tube was the way to go.  >>
Oh how i wish I had had this knowledge when they
decided to slap a tube in Faren.

First, we have worked with a feeding specialist and
she gave us these little droppers to put food in and
feed her.  They said they wanted us trying 3 meals a
day, plus a snack in between.  I want my child to eat
table food more than anything, but I wonder who in the
world has time to feed a bottle for an hour every 3
hours, live a life, and feed a child that doesn't want
to be feed 6x a day! It works and we try to feed her
with them at least once a day.  At preschool she at a
half a cup of those little pudding cups.  But we lost
both of our amazing teachers aid and so she's not
eating like that at ps anymore. So they are working on
table food not bottle feeding.

So, Michelle, are you saying that you regret the
feeding tube?  If so why?
