Feeding trouble again

[Guest guest]

Okay, we are trying to get at least 5-6 cans of formula in Abby

through the tube. She continues to try to eat orally as well. More

times than not over the last week she has vomitted a can or two back

at us within 5-10 minutes after a feeding. HELP!!!! We are supposed

to get to 8-10 cans of formula by March. At this rate we will never

get there. Any suggestions of how to prevent the vomitting would be

great. We are bolus feeding and taking it very slowly pouring it in.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I have no experience with g-tubes, but I found that when Dalia got

really constipated for several days, she would vomit. Don't know if

this is the problem, but just a off-shoot thought.

Sorry, you are having so much trouble...things WILL get better even

if it seems impossible.

Take care,
