Hi my son is approaching 1 and is still being nose fed every 4 hours, i started weaning him when he was 6 months but hes never really taken to feeding orally and now that he is older im finding it harder to introduce new foods as he knows he will get full through the tube!! Hes going through a stage at the moment where he is being sick during feeds- we are trying to establish weather this is behavioural or reflux?! He will only have a mouthful if that of foods, and would really love to chat to any parents who have or are going through this type of feeding as not sure what else to do!!!!!!!!! Thankyou xxx
