Oral Aversion: 5mo baby

[babyconcern]

My 5mo baby girl has been diagnoise from a speech therpist and a Lactation Specialist with Oral Aversion.

Her history:
full term baby healthy, breastfeed: never had any tube placed in her.
@2wks we attempted to introduced the bottle and failed miseribly. We continue trying for upto 3 mo.
She is feed on a Demand based... that means every 1 to 2 hrs-- very erratic at times.
@3mo: placed into daycare for only in the morning. At daycare they tried really hard to get her to feed. At times she cries but they ignore her.
@4mo, she decided to quite BF and the bottle: nursing strike of both types. Therefore we attempted to force feed her for 1 wk. It helped maintain her weight. Started sucking thumb very vigoriously.
@4mo & 2wk: Saw a lactation specialist who told us to stop forcefeeding and need to start her on cuddling with me. Also introduce a medicine dropper to ease her hunger as I attempt feeding her. She states she has oral aversion and also I have a very strong let-down that irriate her. AT times she would refuse to feed upto 8hrs. After the 8hrs, she would only take 2 or 3 oz to calm her hunger. And then suck her thumb to sleep.
@4mo & 3wk: Started a feeding schedule to increase her appeitite and increase her stomache size as recommended by ped. Her weight started dropping. Within 2 wks she was dropping from 22% to 10%. Me and my husband took time off from work to get her back on track. We did with feeding from a medicine dropper and increasing the calorie content of her Breastpumped milk.
@5mo: she was diagnoise with Oral Aversion from a speech therpist  and will soon see a throat specialist and will become part of "first Step"

Now for feeding she she starts sucking her thumb, I drop milk into the side of her mouth. After 1 or 2 oz, I introduce the bottle. After feeding 3 oz and she gets sleepy, I Introduce my breast. She has no problem chewing on other items around the house, but once you try feeding her with the bottle or breast without going through the above procedure, she throws a hysterical fit.

Question: I need advice how to wean her from the dropper and either to a bottle or a sippy cup. I know I will get alot from all of these specialist. But I want a variety of advice. I have learned my lesson to not trust just one 1 person any more. I had to argue with the Ped to convince him there was something wrong because he keep on see the results of my husband and I preventing my baby from falling down too fast. I basically show him a daily graph of her weight. PS: I  already switch ped due to the previous ped for incompency. This one is recommended for this actions and follow-up and dealing with this type of issue.  I am soo tired. She refuse to feed from anyone but me. And I have to feed her every 2 or 3 hrs. Also daycare still feeds her 1x a day: They states she get fussy but do not throw a fit. She will take 2-3oz from the bottle and then the rest from a dropper.

have you tried the sippy cup yet?-
are you saying your let down was so slow she got frustrated or so fast she was overwhelmed?---

Is she gaining or maintaining weight now?

you said she was full term and healthy- when can you try solid foods such as  strained fruits and vegetables? anything with a spoon? any luck at all?
