Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Although we have been told that is not RSS, I am not totally convinced and even if he isn't, who can tell the difference? does not have any reflux, according to his gastroenterologist. And yet, he is never truly hungry. Even when he was a newborn, he would wake and fuss a little and if you fed him, he might eat a bit, but if you didn't, he might just go back to sleep. He does not seem to suffer from food aversion, like some of the kids, but he often takes a bite and then just allows it to fall out of his mouth, especially if it is unfamiliar to him, or it is fruit, or it is vegetables, or it is Thursday, or the sun is shining. LOL Anyway, he is finally self-feeding and that has improved things a bit, but he still does not have anywhere near a 'normal' appetite for a busy, active almost 22 month old boy. He usually eats for only about 5 minutes and if we are lucky, he will eat a couple of tablespoons of food one or two times a day. We are still giving him a couple of bottles a day, in the hopes that this will keep him from starving. I don't know what will happen when we stop that. This will definitely be a topic of conversation with the endocrinologist next week. I am going to try to get him to drink a bit more water and see if that helps with the strong urine. We haven't ever given him much water for fear it would displace something with calories in his diet. But, it sure can't be good for him to be dehydrated.
