Wish I could help you with the g-tube feeding. I have a couple of friends who DO know about this (from another board)......so I'll give a note about this thread for you.
In regards to hair: Our two oldest are Korean and Japanese. Both have very thick, straight, jet-black hair.........while my daughter's (Korean born) hair was not 'fine' in texture....it laid easier than ou oldest son's (Japanese)....who's hair is much coarser and tends to have a little bit of body to it.
In regards to the Failure to Thrive issue......I'd be doubly sure to do attachment parenting with your little one. Even if she seems to be attaching well......."wearing her"...can only help with the bonding and willingness to continue to thrive and do well in a positive way. This can be done by putting her in a front-pack...holding her often (even though she's older than a newborn), rocking her to sleep at night, and....if she continues to want to have a bottle, by all means (IMO) give her one and HOLD it for her. These are little tidbits of what attachment parenting is about.....but you may find more in books on the subject. (Sorry, I don't have one to offer at the moment.). Check with you local library or consult an attachment therapist with a good library and/or suggestions.
My best to you.....
Sincerely,
Linny
