Rory's 2nd Feeding Session

I took Rory to her second visit with the feeding clinic today. I took pureed haddock and carrots, mixed into milky potatotes. Rory LOVES this stuff, but only loves it a tbsp at a time. I told the psychologist that she usually gives up at around 5 bites. It's so weird because it is almost ALWAYS at the 5-bite point. It's pleasing to know we can at least get to this point now, because a month ago, if it was a puree, we got nowhere. Anyway, unlike last time, Rory decided to behave as she normally does at home. Right at the 5 bite mark she would take the bite and spit it out. She continued doing this, all the while we are ignoring her each time. Well, she had a meltdown, screaming, crying, etc. I told them, I don't usually allow it to get to that point, I will just end the meal. Here's the funny part......they actually got her to take a bite AFTER the tantrum, which I've never been able to do. They feel confident that we just have to continue with the positive re-inforcement, and that she will eventually eat. My concern is the small amount she's eating at one sitting. They figure we should reduce her formula intake, but that I should figure this out with the pediatrician on July 17th, and they would like to see us back again on August 5th, to follow up with her weight, see how things are going and do another feeding. I feel terrible for saying this, but I feel a sort of 'satisfaction' from Rory showing them her true colours when it comes to meal time. They also said they were glad to get a real sense of our mealtime issues. I mean, she actually stopped eating at the exact bite I had reported to them over the phone and in person. LOL. Anyway, she is making great strides with what she will try to eat, it's just a matter now of getting her to eat MORE. :) We can work with that.
