Amanda, I've found really good information and support on this site:
http://www.parent-2-parent.com/forum/
Scroll down to "tube feeding issues" and "feeding aversions and issues"
Kate is 18 mos and eats well, just not enough and is still getting a tube feed overnight. It's a long road and it took lots of work to get her there. Email me if you want to hear how long and how hard!
