I took DD to the Dr the other day for a check up on her throat infection. The Dr did a random weigh on her and she's lost 500g in the past month (she was weighed the day we did her immunisations). She's worried that DD may have coeliacs (from some of the symptoms that she's been having). I've explained to her that DD isn't a huge eater and still has at least 2 hourly breast feeds and she said even with that, she should still be gaining slowly. She's gone from being just over the 75th percentile to just over the 10th percentile which is worrying.
I just hope the weight loss is a combination of DD being sick with her throat infection and the fact that she's on the move now - she never bloody stops. I've to keep with the BLS..... BUT I also have to help her as well. Thank god DD can use a spoon for herself. She's accepting of the help which is good and we've definitely getting more food into her - DD actually hands me her spoon to help her as she's been getting frustrated with her food falling off.
We've to go back in a month to the Dr and if she's gained good weight then all will be fine. If she hasn't then she'll be tested for coeliacs. *sobs* My poor baby!!
So that's where we're at. Keep your fingers crossed for me that she doesn't have coeliacs.
