Hi Kelly - our bubbas went through that non eating phase together back in December remember? I so know how you feel re weight gain, it's so stressful. Ned actually LOST 50g in 2 weeks about a month back and I was very stressed. Paed told me to start on solids but honestly he isn't overly keen yet, has a few teaspoons once a day. He has put on weight again in the last 3 weeks. Back in December when he was eating VERY poorly and had very low weight gain too was when he actually got sick and we first picked up the UTI (also had a kidney absess but that's another story). Anyway that's probably why the doc wants the urine sample. I think low weight gain/lack of appetite etc can sometimes be due to that. Regardless I hope everything is ok and it may just be a phase and she's not going to be an overly big bub. At least with tests you can rule anything yucko out. You are doing a fab job, just keep doing what you are doing at the moment. If she is happy then that's the main thing. When they start getting more active their weight gain slows down heaps too - remember that. Good luck.
