Hi Jane. We are having a similar issue with Autumn. i cannot get her

past 16 lbs. She was 15.5 at 1 yr then up to 16.5 a couple of mos ago,

then she got really sick and was in the hospital about 1.5 mos ago.

She gained back some but she just will not go past 16 lbs. We've been

stuck there for a while. She is always sick though, but also, she is

also walking and running now so I wonder if it has anything to do with

it. She doesn't seem to eat much now either....who knows, but she does

like to eat, she screams for food and runs to the cabinet and pulls

stuff out, just not much goes in her mouth. Good luck with , I

know it's stressful.

mom to Autumn 16 mos 16 lbs 27 3/4 inches, Ocean almost 3 30

lbs and a foot taller than Autumn ! Skye 6.5 36lbs 43 1/4 inches, baby

girl due in July

> Question for all you experienced parents out there:

> My daughter, , weighed 17# 15oz 1 month ago - shortly after that

weight check she got sick - was down to 17lb 7oz - now - 1month later I

brought her in yesterday hoping she would have at least gained back

that weight and she was 17# 6oz yesterday. This, is maybe expected - I

don't know - typically every time I bring her in she gains - at least

something - 1-2oz AT LEAST. The doctor wants me to keep a food journal

for 2 weeks then bring her in for another weight check - eats

well (In comparison to what is typical for SGA/RSS). Should I be

really concerned? I guess I am shocked because she has been eating so

well. Maybe she is just burning more calories - we finally have nice

weather - so we are outside a lot - she is running around. Any

thoughts/input would be appreciated. Jane, mom to - weight

above - 28 3/ " - periactin, zantac

Jodie,

could you give me that recipe? I'd love to try it with Autumn and my

oldest son, both who struggle with any kind of weight gain, I wish I

had that problem.

Hi Jane,

Emerence went through the exact same thing, she lost about 1/2 lb due

to increased activity. I see Jodie Cals posted her shake - I modified

it for Emerence and it put that weight back on plus a few ounces! I

use chocolate ice cream, one package of chocolate Carnaton instant

breakfast, whole milk and cream.

HOpe to see you in Chicago!!! Any new pics of ?
