Does not want to eat

[Milagro0727]

I have an ex 24 week preemie who is now almost 4 years old and does not want to eat anything.  Not even in school.  What should I do.  I am very consern

She is currently receiving OT and ST they all think it's behavior and that I should give her tough love because she does eat some solid but not all nutritional foods. Eg.  She loves oreo cookies, and muffins.  She use to eat rice, cheese and crackers but this has decreased.  For the last few days she only want her bottle with oatmeal in it.

Also, does she eat food or drink out of a bottle only???

Hmmm, if it's continuing, what if you tried calling back and letting the doctor know what's going on. It sounds like it's gotten worse since she's been. Or what about a second opinion?

I have taken her to the doctors they all say it's behavior.  She only drinks 2-3 bottles of milk and for sure one bottle of oatmeal in a day.  I tried the feeding therapy programs for 10 months and nothing to show for.  She is eating less every day

Notice what she's eating and take her to the doctor if you are concerned that she is not getting near enough.
