Elodie was waking up on her own around 08.30, she is used to the new routine now. Just a few more days to go, and we have finished this eating school, time really flies. This morning she ate a few slices of ham while playing games on my phone.…

Our 8th day at NoTube wasn’t eventful. We see a routine here, Elodie doesn’t eat much during the day but does try new things which is good. Back at the apartment she eats more while watching videos on YouTube. She still loves prosciutto and salmon sashimi, so we always…

Today was our day off. I remember how afraid we were to be left alone without help. This time we were more confident and went with the flow. We were really hoping that Elodie would sleep in, but unfortunately for us, she woke up at 08.30. At least this…

Elodie woke up on her own again this morning. I will probably be starting with this sentence in all my blogs, because our mornings at home start much later, and I am just amazed by her flexibility. We are already halfway to this eating school! Time flies. She didn’t…

We didn’t have to wake up Elodie today, she woke up after hearing our noise while we were preparing for the day. She even had a few minutes left to snooze. She didn’t eat much in the morning. But ate some ice cream and new foods. We have noticed…

Every morning upon arrival our temperature is checked, and we are asked how we are feeling as a way to prevent Covid-19 infections. The hygiene rules were already quite strict, but now even more, face shield or mouth mask on, and washing hands more than 5 times a day.…

We had to wake up Elodie this morning, as was expected. She wasn’t that eager to wake up. We let her sleep as long as possible and then rushed to NoTube. It’s only a 7-minute walk, and luckily we get breakfast there. During breakfast, we had to put white…

No therapy or medical professional in the Netherlands could help Elodie learn to eat. In fact, they made matters worse. NoTube’s multidisciplinary team with pediatricians, speech therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists, dieticians, nurses, etc. who have solely been helping children to tube wean and learn to eat (for over 30 years),…

After everything that’s happened in Elodie’s second year, we tried to reduce the attention the topic of “feeding” gets. It was extremely difficult, because with a BMI of 12 (extremely malnourished) at the beginning of the year it was impossible to let go. She had no body fat or…
