weight issue

[Guest guest]

Adam is 10 months old but barely weighs 14 pounds. He has acid reflux

(prilosec twice daily and urecholine three times a day) -- we make

sure not to freak out when he throws up, so now when ever he does it

he just smiles at us as we clean him up and then cries as we change

his clothes AGAIN! He has now been on Urso 250mg, half a tablet every

morning for his liver for almost two months. He also takes three

ultrase enzyme capsules with each feeding (thank heaven/scandipharm

for CAREFIRST for CF). He hates the #3 baby foods. He acts like he's

choking on those tiny peices of carrots and potatoes, but he LOVES my

cream of chicken soup!

What do I do? Any suggestions on how to put the pounds on him? The

nutritionist at the clinic suggested in November that we mix his

formula 24cal/oz and we add 1/4 tsp of veggie oil to his solids (2-3

times a day). Still it doesn't seem to be making a lot of difference.

He's at the 10th percentile for length but falling farther and

farther away from the weight charting. I put him in clothes that are

6-9 or 12mo sizes and they fit great in the legs (length) but barely

stay up at his waist!

I'm so frustrated!! Please advise!

Thanks in advance,

Crystal

mom to Adam 10mo wcf, le 3yr nocf.

p.s. maybe I'm a little touchy about weight too, since le

weighed in at 42 lbs at her 3 yr checkup in November. She's going to

be an athlete the way she's built!
