I have a seven moth old son we call him little bean….little bean in cute, funny and very active little boy. What a joy he is…Yet my little man is not gaining weight. He eats like a horse But at 4 months he just seemed to stop gaining weight. At 6 months he weighed just the same as he did at 4 months….He was drinking 30-34 ounces of Formula in a day.. He was a big puker too. So I tried Soy formulka. he still spit up granted not as much BUT he screamed because his belly didn’t like the formula.
So the last three weeks has been a journey of a different diet.At 4 months oldhe stated eating cereal. He loved it By six months old he was eating a box a day. I was SOOOO thankful that I had a lot of leftover baby cereal from my other kids. They also loved to eat BUT they didn’t eat as much cereal as WIC provided!
Even though he started on veggies at 6 months and was eating a ton of cereal in a day my little guy still hasn’t gained any weight. Matter of fact he has lost weight. He has weekly weigh in at the doctor’s office and has had blood work done to test his thyroid. NORMAL. Nothing is making sense.
last week he was sick and had a sore throat and refused to eat. Our Doctor was prepared to admit him to the hospetal BUT because he wouldn’t eat and was on an antibiotic the doc gave us one more week to try to fatten him up….
So come this Friday if my little guy hasn’t gained enough weight to suit the Doctor then he will be checked into the hospital for 3-5 days. A new thing for me. the only time my babies have been in the hospital has been when they are born
