Hi Jayne,

My name is Pat and I am G-ma to who is 4 yrs old. Welcome to the

group!

It would help if you could give us some more information about your daughter

Lily. How much does she weigh?? How long is she?? What kind of problems are

you having???

One of the most important things to watch for when our kids are young is

nighttime hypoglycemia. Does your daughter sweat excessively at night?? Does

she wake up lethargic or crabby?? These could be signs that her blood sugars

are dropping at night. Many of our kids needs nighttime feedings for a

longer period/older age than is considered the " norm " . Lots of people here

have added cornstarch to their children's last bottle at night to help with

this problem. Hopefully someone that does this will chime in. My g-son had a

g-tube placed at 8.5 months of age, so we've never had to do this.

Feel free to ask questions. It will help us know better how to help you.

Once again, Welcome!!

Hugs for you and yours!!
