weight help
So my son is 15 months and since about 7 months his doctor has been concerned about his weight and its never worried me till she says stuff. He was born at 6.2 and has always been small. At his 12 month check up hewas 18.2 in the 3 percentile and at his 15 months one which was today he was 18.10 and in the 1 percentile. He doesn't look under weight at all. Hes very active and the happiest baby ever, eats alot too. His doctor wants me to start pediasure to help him gain weight. Im not sure if thats good for him. Or if theres any shakes I can make myself thats healthy and help him gain weight. He just got his liver, kidneys and his thyroid checked and they are normal and hes mot anemic. Idk what to do

I want to say not to worry but I know how difficult that can be when it's your own child. So as an alternative maybe you could look up an old thread I saw on here about goat milk toddler formula. I don't remember who started but I remember it linked to a recipe for a natural homemade toddler formula that might be better than pediasure. Maybe someone else remembers and could help you find that link?
He use to like avocados but not anymore, is there anyway to make him like it.
If his bloods were normal, he has vitality and eats well, and he doesn't look emaciated, then I wouldn't do anything. I know thats hard when an "expert" tells you there is something wrong. But somebodys got to be on the small side of the scale.
And is it a breastfeeding weight chart they are using?
Hes height is 40th percentile and head is 75 percentile. So those r great. I dont want him to gain weight by eating bad I want it to be healthy and im worried those drinks aren't good
I weighed him before he was sick and its the same. But it could be that because he went almost a week with not really eating.
😭 just came back from my son’s follow up appointment on his weight gain.... he only gained 1 pound & he grew 1 inch in a month, the doctor said every time he gains weight it stretches out to his height & if it continues they’re going to have to take blood out... how can I help him gain weight?? I’m breastfeeding & giving him baby food occasionally
My baby boy has me so worried he has such delicate skin. Calling the doctor tomorrow to take him in & get checked out. No matter what lotion I use on his skin he gets like this. Breaks my heart
Help! My son failed his weight gain at one month, what could I put in his breast milk to help him gain weight.
So my son appointment today the doctor still wasn't satisfied with his weight gain.. she said we'll give it 1 more month and if he still hasn't progressed much then she will need to draw blood to check his thyroids.
Any Mommies ever have problems with their babies thyroids? Or weight gain?
What do you mommas recommend for weight gain in a toddler? My son just had surgery and lost a lot of weight so i wanna help him gain some weight.
Google "hippie brown girl toddler formula" should be the first to pop up.
