Does anyone have any experience with the feeding clinic @ Kennedy Krieger or Mt Washington?
Re: feeding clinic
My daughter was in the full day feeding program at Mt. Washigton Peds, and all I can say is AMAZING! My daughter went from barely eating anything (she would only prefer cruchy snacks, like goldfish, graham crackers) to eating all the meals that I make for the family. She had heart surgery as an infant and was a silent aspirator, so she wasn't allowed to swallow anything due to the result of her swallow study. Once she was cleared with her swallowing, she was completely dependent on her feeding tube and didn't want to eat.
It was a 6 week program and she went from 8-4, M-F.
Her GI doctor is Dr. Katz and her therapist who worked with her most of the time is Long Clark. I couldn't say enough wonderful things about how great both of them are at their jobs. After the 6 week program, they follow up with you every 2 months so make sure your child is still progressing. They slowly have taken her off of all of her tube feedings. She officially has been off her feeding tube for the last month, and she's progressing beautifully.
Please let me know if you need more info, but like I said they did miracles for my daughter.
