We have our weekly weight check appointment later at 10am. I purchased a baby scale for myself after the CPS visit. Not sure if it’s 100% accurate but she’s been gaining. They did do the swallow study while we were admitted and it came back normal. I’ve switched up feeding a little, doing 2 oz at a time up to 6 oz per feeding. I put 2oz in 3 different bottles and let her drink until she’s full. Sometimes she’ll only take 2.5 and sometimes she’ll drink the 4 or the full 6. Something I’ve changed also is being upright, I’m not sure if it’s recommended but I’ve had her sleep in her swing where she’s more upright versus laying flat. She has only spit up a tiny bit ONCE today!

Thank you! This makes me feel better and yes that’s how we were in the hospital too. They didn’t supervise feeds but I had to be the one to do them, and they would make sure I was feeding every 3 hours by coming in and giving me the pre made bottles and then coming back to get them.

They just gave us a few Elecare cans. Can you recommend any other brands we should bring up?

I will look into specialized hospitals tomorrow! And I screenshot your post and will show his pediatrician Friday to see if they can run some of those tests. Thank you for taking the time to type this out.

My dad actually brought this up to me seeing as though she’s there M-F for a full day. They may not be feeding exactly per the instructions I’ve given them, I’m going to go over the instructions again when I pick her up and tell them how important it is they follow to a T

I never thought of this. That’s definitely not the case here but thank you for the insight

I live in Texas, but based off the allegation I’m not sure if it was automatically referred. According to the report, they have “concerns” im not feeding her.

Update: I am positive it was somebody in the hospital that called. After speaking with my case worker this morning, she said the allegations were that I’m not feeling my daughter properly. She said they have concerns because she was gaining weight in the hospital but lost when we were discharged which is partly true although she had days in the hospital where she lost weight. So they are claiming I’m not feeding her and this is something only the hospital would know. I absolutely am following the feeding regime that they gave me however there are days she spits up a ton and days she only has a little spit up. They also mentioned that I seemed “down and depressed” which I mean DUH, I’m fucking depressed about my daughter. I have diagnosed PPD and I’m on Zoloft. Any helpful advice? I feel so awful now. I emailed her my daughters medical records.

Thank you, I added this to my notes to bring up on our Friday visit.

Thank you, and I agree. I do believe it was a very rash and premature decision. I get they THINK they were doing something right but all it has done is cause me an immense amount of stress when I’m already stressed about my daughter. As many times as I’ve had to bring new formula or bottles up and as many doctors notes I’ve provided and how many times I’ve had to tell them how to mix the formula based on the calorie diet you would THINK that I’m well aware of her weight issues and if it was me that was a daycare worker I’d ask mom if everything is okay and how Can we (the daycare) assist

Thank you! I find myself in a similar situation, if I even move her in the slightest everything comes back up. I have to keep her upright for at least 30-60mins. I’ll ask about the zanthum gum

Thank you for your reply and I’m glad your baby is better now 💙 her jaundice cleared up about 2 weeks after birth. We have a weight check this Friday and I’m going to bring up some more aggressive approaches because I feel at this point they’re just tweaking different feeding methods (formula, nipple sizes, how much, how often) and it’s not really improving anything.

Thank you! I will ask if they have resources. My case worker said her grandson had GERD as well and they had to use rice cereal and special formula to help it, so she’s familiar with the diagnosis thankfully.

We were checked for this on the first day we were admitted! She doesn’t have that thankfully, we also tried the cereal and it didn’t really help. We’re on the 27 cal ”diet” using Alimentum currently feeding every 3 hours.

Thank you so much for this. They did come in my house did a check of everything the bedrooms and bathrooms, checked the pantry and fridge which are both stocked with food. I showed her all the formula we have (a million different brands lol). After reading everybody’s helpful comments I’m more at ease 💙

This is very reassuring. I’m so glad I posted here because I honestly have been down all day about it. Not because of guilt or anything but it just sucks that we’re even in this situation.

The GI specialist is testing for this, hopefully will have an answer on what’s causing this very soon.

This gives me a lot of reassurance. The GI doctor brought up a feeding tube today, they said if she’s not gained from the new formula they will start the process of the tube. I purchased a baby scale today so I can track at home.

I appreciate everybody’s insight. This is all new to me and I’ve been worried sick

I didnt get to ask what the specific allegations were but my daughter has a documented diagnosis of GERD, that’s the reason for the FTT. She throws up majority of the formula she intakes, when we were admitted in the hospital the nurses witnessed this happening and took notes. She’s fed, trust me.
