Natalie's had some slight improvement in taking liquids from a sippy cup. She still doesn't jump for joy when she sees the cup, and often she turns her head away from the cup, but usually we can get her to drink 2-3 ounces of milk and Pediasure at each meal. I only give her something to drink when we're at home because it gets a little messy (still not using the valve the right way, and she sucks more than she can swallow, so some dribbles out the sides).
We're still giving her water through her tube, and we've had a little struggle to keep her regular, but with water, adding olive oil and wheat germ to her food, and prune juice, she's doing ok...but not great. I need to put together a recipe another RTS parent suggested for constipation...it involves rehydrating dried fruit and pureeing it with flax seed oil and putting that on top of her food.
