We haven't got an official diagnoses yet, but they are keeping a close eye on Tristan. At 7 months old he is 5990 grams. Born 3090 grams at 34 weeks on the 25th %ile for actual age, he has dropped well off the bottom of the chart for both corrected and actual ages. He gained weight really well in his first month and then starting tapering and dropping off.
Brendan weighed more at 7 months than Tristan does...
He's been on solids for about a month now, upped to two a day now. He is the happiest of babies, and in no way underfed. He is still breastfed and loving it.
Anyway just wondering if anyone else has been through poor weight gain - FTT? Brendan had FTT but picked up after formula was introduced (his was an environmental thing, my supply was poor and I had no support, he also had terrible reflux) But Tristan is otherwise healthy. I'm thinking either he is just going to be small OR there is an underlying issue, which hasn't fully surfaced yet. I'm thinking about getting a paediatrician's opinion. My supply is excellent and I'm eating well, I have all the faith in the world in my milk.
