Can anyone else help with some advice.
My nearly 2 year old has always struggled with feeding, sleeping, reflux traits and now constipation.

She never drank milk by the mass, it would be the odd oz until she around 11 months then would have 4oz. We was told she could have had tracheomalacia, but it took so long to see ENT they said she was growing out of it. (GREAT stuff). Then the projectile vomiting started once eatting anything solid. We started omeprazole, the vomiting stopped but the fear of eating anything has progressively gotten worse. She lives on bits of fruit, yogurt and potatoes. She is now on permanent laxatives and going back on to omeprazole as we are awake most night for 3-5hrs at time.

has anyone else experienced this? Have they managed to get help?

Is DD under a paediatrician? If not, request a referral. Once on top of the constipation and reflux if DD’s eating is still restricted request a referral to an eating and feeding team or your local dietetics service. In the meantime, keep offering safe foods.

Thank you, I will be asking for a referral on Wednesday when we go back and we have a drop in session with a fussy feeding team next Tuesday so hopefully they will point us in the right direction
