Weight dropping off..

Comment Published at 21:0521:052 comments2 comments56 Visits56 VisitsReport

Well the Dr was pretty unhelpful today about JB not eating properly. He did not address the eating at all, just showed concern as JB is now on the 5th percentile for his weight, he was on the 25th percentile so he has dropped a lot. The only thing the Dr recommended was to give him pediasure!! I am not really happy with this as hubby just bought some and the second ingredient is sugar!!

JB eats a lot of fruit and veg (just mush!!) so i am sure he is getting all he needs nutritionally. We also had a blood test to check for thyroid problem, and we now have to go back weekly and get him weighed.

Re: Weight dropping off..

Thanks Angela,

We had him weighed yesterday and he has put on 8oz this week he is now 19 lbs15 oz... the Dr still wants to fatten him up to 21.5 lbs. I really just think it is his build, both hubby and I were skinny like this until our teens! Personally I am just frustrated that I am not getting any help with the behavioural side of his eating.. I am so pleased with JB's progress, but we have a long way to go!

Lorna
