Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 , I know you are having problems with the tube and gagging. You asked a question about secrets of keeping the kids off of the tube. I just wanted to encourage you as a mom who wishes we had a tube. My son Matt is now 7 and a feeding therapist recently told me if she would have seen him as a toddler he would have been a candidate for a tube. But now, since we have basically force fed him his entire life, he has tons of oral aversion issues and hates to eat. It the single most frustrating part of my day. Just adds stress to the whole house at a time when we should be sitting down and enjoying each other. I am not sure if there are any secrets to staying off of the tube, but I for one, wish we would have had one years ago. Hang in there!
