My son was born at 26 weeks gest. and is 2 weeks past his due date and has yet to eat every feed out of a bottle. He has taken a full feed from a bottle muliple times (a full feed is about 50 mls) and then he doesnt do as well then he starts back again. He has GERD and Grade 3 and 4 IVH and may possibly have Cerebral Palsy. We cant take him home from the NICU until he eats all his feeds from the bottle for 48 hours and we have already been there for 106 days. What are some exercises we can do to help him eat...all info and suggestions are welcomed!
there is a swallowing specialist (supposed) and her answer is just to put a permanent feeding tube in and my husband and i want to exhaust all other efforts before this is the conculsion but the OT said there arent any exercises to do which i know it false
