Tube Day #75

Auggie is not gaining very much weight these days and we're wondering if he is just vomiting too much (he vomits 3-4 times daily). He weighed 14 pounds 9 oz. today. We have adjusted his formula now to 27 calories per ml at a rate of 28 ml per hour hoping that it will help. After seeing the feeding specialist yesterday we are now abandoning trying to use a spoon to feed him. Instead we are focusing on letting him play with his food and possibly placing a little food on our fingers and just gently touching his mouth to give him a taste. There is so much to research and read on the topic of tube weaning, it's overwhelming. I don't think we are ready to start weaning yet, but hopefully in 1-2 months after we've done all of our research and discussed our plans with the doctors we can set the plan in motion.
