Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hi Brigitte, If you are getting all the calories you can down Bobbi at this point, and she is gaining, even if it is slowly, then you're doing all you can. has a VERY hard time gaining weight in the beginning. He weighed 10# at a year, even with a g-tube!! At that point in 's life, Dr H wanted him consuming approximately 160 calories per kg per day. At 3 yrs old she has him currently on a diet where he only has to consume 80kcal/kg/day. Are you using 30kcal/oz formula?? are you adding anything like Polycose to her solid foods?? These were some suggestions we were given. Hope this helps. Pat (g-ma to , RSS, 3 yrs old, 23.5# (10.7kg), 32.8 " (83.3cm), G-Tube) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
