I did not even think about him pulling out the tube! My son also has to be forced to eat or he will starve himself to death. We can not make eating an option. He is also developmentally delayed so he has not thought of pulling the tube, thank goodness! Attachment is not an issue for us though. His problem is the result of a poorly diagnosed digestive issue. Feeding problems are the worst. Nobody quite understands until they go through it with their child. We count his calories every day at every meal. He is still very small for his age, only 36 pounds at five years old. You are in my prayers.
