[QUOTE="slsh, post: 601748, member: 8"] I second the recommendation for a developmental pediatrician. Preferably at a children's hospital or at least a university teaching hospital. Some services you should [U]already[/U] be receiving are (as a bare minimum) speech/occupational therapy, to deal with- oral motor issues thru your local birth-3 center, and regular followup with a pediatric dietitian. Was the pregnancy/delivery pretty routine? Any family history of metabolic or genetic issues? The combination of failure to thrive even with a g-tube, speech delay (though that isn't as alarming at 20 months because there's a wide range of "normal"), and physical defects screams that this is not a case that should be orchestrated by a regular pediatrician. He's there to take care of the routine stuff - shots, well baby checks, colds, etc. The other issues need to be addressed by staff who have training and *experience* with kiddos who are not doing things by the book. in my humble opinion, the only way you're going to get pointed in the right direction is by having a full developmental workup and then move on from there - genetics, endocrine issues, etc. [/QUOTE]
