infant will not eat...has PEG tube....

Posted by Valerie on December 27, 2002 at 13:17:22:

Hi! Anyone know of or have info on others who were born this way? This child fails to have any interest in food...is approaching 2 yrs. old, and still doesn't hold a bottle or display any interest in eating liquids, solids....nothing. Was diagnosed with failure to thrive before 1st yr., had nasal feeding tube, which was recently replaced with PEG tube. Child has been seen at CHOP (Children's Hospital of Phila.) I am convinced there are others with this same issue, and I know personally of one other child with the same problem. Is there a group? A name for thie syndrome/condition? HELP!!!!
