OMG, Tigerle, I am feeling so much sympathy for you! And I want to apologize if my post made you (or anyone else) in any way feel like I was being critical of forcing kids to eat. Over the course of the past 6 years, I've really resented other parents telling me that I must just be doing it wrong whenever I tell them that "regular parenting" often doesn't work with DS6. So I get it - sometimes, other parents have NO IDEA what you need to do to be a really good parent to your child. You sound like an amazing parent. grin
