[tri-med] New, Looking for Advice

Hi, I am new to these boards, so let me introduce myself.  
My name is Leah and I live in Barrie, Ontario (Canada).  My youngest
daughter, Erika, was born on April 10th, 2002 at 4lbs. 7 1/2 ozs. and
has been diagnosed as T18.  She has been NG feeding since birth.  For
the first 5 weeks, she was feed exclusively breast milk, however, I just
could no longer get enough milk pumped and had to switch to formula. 
She had been doing well, and is up to 7lbs.  However, this past week she
has been having reflux at some of her feeds.  I don't want her to start
losing weight!  We are thinking about switching formula's but I'm not
sure if that really has anything to do with the reflux, I realize that
is often a problem with T18 children.  Any thoughts or suggestions on
how to deal with this?
