I had an app with the dietican thurs and they arnt as worried about her weight as much as her height. she is just over 7kg at 12months and is going up after a couple of drops. Her height has lvld out and has stopped. She wants me to make sure every snack and meal includes protien and calcium (but no dairy or gluten). I dont know what this means but I know they are worried as if she was JUST on the small side but going up they wouldnt worry would they?
sorry to hear you are having troubles with ur DD . at 12 mth my DD was 8kg and tiny , at 2.5 she is about 11 kg and very short and small for her age .
she has been DX with a Carbohydrate malapsorbtion and is anemic , so is basically gluten , dairy, wheat, soy , fructose , corn free etc. she also has a para site living in her called Dfragilis .
its not serious but we have weeks of constiption and diaraeah ,
her dietician and her pead work together and suggest new ways to keep her healthy . i would say that if it was serious they wouldnt muck around and would tell you . most likely they are getting in early to aviod any long term problems
DD has such slow growth , but also had reflux as a baby , all these things made up for her small stature .
DD is having her tonsils and adenoids out due to sleep apnea . Pead thinks her poor sleep is contributing to slow growth . and is also having a bowel scope for other issues .
have you had many blood tests to see why this is happening ( you prob. have but just trying to get a history)
protien is found in ham , meats etc and you can get dairy free flavoured milk with fortified iron , calcium etc. also there is dairy free cream cheese and cheese slices which DD eats alot .
i have a DS who is 4 and is a skinny as a rake with the same as DD but not as bad .
if you need any dietry q's answered . pm i am a pro in all that as a Carbo-Malap. is life long and im always getting info on feeding them .
try not to stress ...
