My twingirls were born in week 23+5. They had a long and difficult time at hospital. They had similar problems and treetments like ductus-operation, ventilator, CPAP, blood-transfusions and more.

They will soon have their fourth birthday :)

Nelia doesn´t eat but often taste the food. She gets all her food in a PEG through her stomach wall. She got it very early just some months old as the doctors could see that there wouldn´t be any big change.

This is a common problems for premature children! Some just have a little dicomfort eating and learns to eat good within a year. Some children learns to eat many years later. I an aware of that it will take time and I don´t feel any rush. The PEG is a fantastic tool :)

I would love to hear from you. It is nice to talk to somebody with the same issues.

Yochana, it isnt´as easy as just stop giving the food. I know what you mean and I have discussed it with experts. The child will just get weeker and weeker. I have seen my child starving with no effort to eat as she has been very sick from common virus. I have though seen her wanting to drink more while beeing dehydrated.

Please wait...

Perhaps that is the problem AND the answer to the problem. Maybe if they back off on the feeding tube long enough to let him feel hunger, he will be more interested in eating something.
