my sophie (3 1/2 months old) was put on the feeding tube on april 1st, and it has been a blessing....you will start to see such an improvemet in her weight. the enzymes??? just keep trying, sophie would gag and also throw up but she finally got the hang of it...i did notice that if i put a little more applesauce on the spoon she ate it better. i dont think she liked the consistancy of the "little beads" in her mouth, and extra applesauce helps her to not feel it so much. i also would put a spoonful in her mouth and then put her pacifier in and she would suck down the applesauce and enzymes as she sucked on her pacifier....thats what i did in the beginning. hope this helps!! god bless.
