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 ...
