April 21, 2018 by Krisi Brackett 7 Comments

Cases from Clinic  I thought I would start a regular post once a month highlighting some of our kids and how we provide intervention.

Manipulating Feeding Schedules to Improve Intake

June 20, 2017 by Krisi Brackett 1 Comment

We (me and a dietician) recently saw a medically complex child with  who was refusing her bottle. Her mother expressed extreme frustration with feeding time stating that she had to sing and dance in order for her child to take her bottle.

May 16, 2015 by Krisi Brackett 43 Comments

Question: I was searching your site for more information about the use of cyproheptadine as an appetite stimulant.  I recently had an evaluation with a kiddo who is taking this twice a day to increase appetite but mom doesn't think it has helped much.  Wondering what your team does for dosage?  I have had some experience working with periactin and I remember that it was usually best to be on it Keep Reading >>
