I am at my wits end with my smallest triplet. She was an IUGR baby, but was doing great with a bottle by the time she came home from the hospital. She is now 3 months adjusted (4 1/2 months old) She used to throw up all the time, but still ate very well and seemed comfortable. About three weeks ago she stopped throwing up and began fighting feeds. It has become a nightmare to try to get food down her. I almost alwyas have to wait until she is asleep and she is beginning to fight me on that, too. Yesterday I managed to get 19 oz down her and today so far only 15. She weighs 9.7. We saw the Dr. Thursday and we are seeing a speech therapist and an OT Monday. The ped thinks it may be oral aversion, but I am convinced this all stems from reflux. She is on Zantac, but I can't tell a difference. This is more stressful for me than the pregnancy, the bed rest, the NICU....... I feel terrible for her but I don't know what to do to help.
