Heather, Jackson is nine months now and still not eating with a spoon! I tried everything and talked to several mom's on here about it, but he just won't do it! He does just like Eyson and screams the entire time, which makes more come out of his nose, which makes him even madder! After discussing it with the PS, he said that it was okay for him to be only on formula until after his palate repair. Formula has more calories than baby food anyway, and has helped with his weight gain. He is doing great, weighed 20 pounds last week.....just costing us a fortune in formula! I was really worried about spoon feeding for a while, but I was reassured that he would be fine and he is so far! His palate repair is April 18th, and after that I'm going to work on getting him to eat solids! I hope I didn't discourage you! Just wanted to let you know that you weren't the only one who has had problems! And even if you don't get Eyson to eat with a spoon, he'll be just fine! I can talk anytime if you need anything! Did I see on one of your other posts that you are a single mom? I can't imagine going through all of this alone! You must be one AWESOME Mom!
