So I took Ethan to the doctor today and he doesn't have an ear infection but they are very concerned…

Are you doing baby led weaning or spoon feeding?

My guy is 8 months and weighs 18 #'s. He won't eat any solids but yogurt. He drinks 4 oz of formula every 4 hours or so. His dr said it's ok that he's just tall and thin like a model. Lol.

me thansmommy12292015, All babies are different, some are big and some are small. Unless there's a medical reason causing him not to gain that they're concerned about? My daughter is very small for her age, she's in the 5% on the growth chart. But as long as she's continuing to grow they're fine with her being on the small side. I would maybe speak to a nutritionist who can give you some suggestions on how to help him gain weight.

what is Baby Led weaning? @housfullofgrls

really? my son is thin and a little long also I guess they probably just want him to gain a little more weight. they made me get a little scared and worried though @sktraum

yeah thank you I'm going to ask more questions in his next week appointment to see how what I can do to help him gain more weight. @jjbaby0902

You let him feed himself. Google it, it might help him eat better

I wouldn't worry. Just do ur best and as long as he's learning and progressing developmentally I would just keep moving forward. They go thru stages too tho where they don't gain much then they gain a bunch down the road a bit. That's my personal experience with my 5 kids.

And yes don't freak out. My 6 year old only weighs 35 pounds. Talk and skinny. Always 5th percentile or less

okay I will definitely Google it, your comment made me feel so much better thank you so much @housfullofgrls

yeah because with his development I think he's really good everything's fine he hardly gets sick or anything. thank you I'll try not to worry as much. @sktraum

Don't stress. My nephew is gonna be 2 in December and he's 18 pounds. My daughter and him are both in size 3 diapers. He might just be small, doesn't mean he's unhealthy :)

My daughter is 6 months and 15 lbs have u tried maybe giving him rice cereal the one u mix with water ?

yeah I feel like he is very healthy, I'm going to try not to stress about it. thanks @pikapal

he doesn't like it not even with formula 😞 @mommy4916
