We’re trying too, but it’s very hard to deal with a baby who cries bloody murder when you try to give him the bottle of formula.

Poor little guy! At least he’s cute as heck and has that (and a great family) going for him. I’m sure it will all work out. In the meantime, hang in there…

Right now I’m thankful our youngest was born big. Otherwise, he would be in even more trouble now.

So far all the tests have come up clean. They are going to stick a camera in him next week to see if that reveals anything.

My wife’s latest trick is to give him the bottle when he’s sleeping. Sometimes he sucks automatically.

Poor baby. I hope he thrives as he ages. BTW, my oldest son started solid foods and formula at 4 months, my younges son was exclusively breastfed the whole first year, and the youngest son was the one that gained more weight! ((((hugs))))

Seriously, put apple sauce on the cardboard. It may help! It's an idea that just might keep him out of the hospital. .-= Vicky´s last blog ..52 Things You Should Know About Your Spouse =-.

BTW….I did a quick google search and came up with this potential diagnosis….if he hasn’t been test you might want to ask his doctor…

Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency

I’m so sorry to hear he’s having such difficulties. I really hope they find out what’s wrong soon! I know how it is to have a sick baby. I have a 9 month old son who was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms at 3 months old. He also has acid reflux which when he was a newborn caused some real difficulty feeding him. I know he probably had all the normal newborn testing..right? Did those tests come back normal? Please keep us updated! Praying and thinking about him and your family!

I’m not worried about the cardboard. All of our kids have done that. It’s the not eating the concerns me.

Don’t all kids eat cardboard? It’s a pity it’s not more nutritious!

Prayers are with you for health for your precious little one.

Happy WW and Thanksgiving lol

Hopefully our baby won’t have to surgery. I already hate the idea of them putting him to sleep so they can stick the camera in.

Daddy Forever — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:11:36 +0000

Luckily he just sticks things in his mouth, but doesn’t eat them.

I hope it’s just a rut, but the doctors think this has been going on too long. That’s why they are looking at more drastic measures.

By: Daddy Forever

Daddy Forever — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:07:57 +0000

It would also be nice if he would stop crying when we’re trying to feed him. Any day now, I’m expecting someone to call child services because they think we’re torturing our baby.

Poor little guy. He’s had such a rough time!

My cousin’s newborn baby had surgery just last week. He didn’t want to eat and threw up everything he did swallow. He had pyloric stenosis. One of his stomach valves was too thick and wouldn’t let food through.

I hope you find out what Little Disney is dealing with and he’s eating like a champ soon.

Wow, sounds like he's suffering from pica. Maybe you could dress up the cardboard with ice cream or something like apple sauce? He'd have no choice then! (j/k) Good luck. I hope things get better.

I swear this kid is so cute. I’m really feeling that arranged marriage for him and Bella, LOL. As I wrote before we have a friend whose son has the same issue. He was just scoped and they think he has some growths in the throat that cause the food to not go down. They think they might be caused by food allergies which made me think of Disney. Also my friend’s kid has reflux as well which does not help. I’m sure you can relate. When they did the exam on her kid they found no other internal issues. I’m hoping Disney’s results will be good. Tell him I said he’s too cute to have to be force fed. Take care of yourself. This must be taking a toll on you and your wife.

Exactly. How can a baby not like ice cream? And he doesn’t even have to chew. It melts in his mouth.

If only baby can gain weight eating plastics and cardboard.

He doesn’t seem to like it. He keeps batting it away from his mouth. But it’s suppose to have tons of calories. If only he would drink it.

She was not happy with the idea. But holy cow, her boobs are really big now. And they hurt.

Well I hope the switch to prescription formula does the trick! Poor little bubba.

My wife is trying to reschedule the procedure. Otherwise baby has to spend Thanksgiving at the hospital.

The ice cream is made from coconut milk because of his allergy to dairy, but my wife and oldest child likes it. He should like it too. I’m beginning to think eating causes pain for him.

By: Daddy Forever

Daddy Forever — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:33:47 +0000

The hard part is also finding food he’s not allergic too. I’ll check the ingredients for wafers next time I’m at the store.

By: Daddy Forever

Daddy Forever — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:32:45 +0000

We also hold his arms down and force the food in his mouth, but he just spits it back out and cries and cries and cries.

Won't eat ice cream? Wow, even my picky eater son would eat ice cream! I certainly hope you won't have to resort to the extreme feeding measures with Little Disney. He certainly looks healthy enough: bright eyes, good skin, alert nature. I'll send prayers, cross my fingers, and say a healing chant that he will turn the corner. SOON. .-= Desert Songbird´s last blog ..Ruby Tuesday and Other Assorted Nonsense =-.

Bless you guys! Can he eat sugar wafers?? Maybe you can fool him into thinking he’s snacking on cardboard! :]

When my daughter wouldn’t eat.. We told her yogurt was ice cream. She ate it and loves yogurt.

When we can’t get the kids to drink and fear of dehydration, we would use the syringes from the pharmacy and squirt gatorade or pedialyte down their throat.

Maybe you should coat the cardboard with baby yogurt?

Praying for the little guy..
