Re: Re: Weight For Height question

You will need to talk to your dietician on how to get the nutrients in and

still reduce weight. It is good to start with increasing activity and that

will depend on how old your child is and what they can and can not do. You

will still want some fats in the diet but maybe with examination you can

trade out some fats for protein. Your dietician will know and Dr H could

give you a direction to start in.

To answer this question you would need a good analysis of activity and what

is being consumed. Ask Dr H at the convention if your child seems too fat.

She has a great eye for that.

I hope this helps.

Sheryl,

If I remember correctly Dalia is still under one year of age, isn't she???

As far as I know, weight loss is never recommended for infants. Instead you

would keep her at the same level of calories, and allow her to grow into her

weight. And fat are essential for brain development under the age of two.

Sheryl,

didn't crawl until after he walked, and he didn't walk until he was

21 months of age. Gross motor delays are not unusual for our kids.

Don't worry about her weight right now. She's doing really well! And I'm

pretty sure that at 8 months of age, Dr H will only suggest that she grow

into her weight, not to actually lose any. The convention is only a week

away, and it will be here before you know it!

You're doing GREAT!! She'll be fine until the convention. I just wouldn't

make any major changes before that.

Hugs to you all!
