She still wears newborn/0-3m clothes. The dr is just now concerned. She does have reflux. My middle child also had reflux (worse than Evy) and she is/was just fine. The Dr. made me stop breastfeeding at 4 months because she said Evy was allergic :(. Everly is my 3rd (and last) baby and is the happiest baby I have ever seen...Seriously NEVER cries unless its time to eat. She is so laid back and what I would consider the perfect baby! Sorry for rambling im just nervous and have never really heard of Failure to thrive. She was 5 wks premature and weighed 5lbs 6oz. She was in the NICU for 10 days. She is what I would consider a really healthy baby(except for the whole tiny issue) ...never sick, no ear infections, eats all the time, sleeps all night. Anyways its nice to know Im not the only mom going through this!CrazyCoymshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553729980065098939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-75635124547722826962011-04-02T22:54:50.747-05:002011-04-02T22:54:50.747-05:00I'm sorry for what you're going through.
...I'm sorry for what you're going through.<br /><br />I'm a social work student (almost done!) and a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor through WIC and wanted to let you know that there are two different types of FTT, organic and in-organic. Organic FTT is when something is 'wrong' with the child and it is not anything the parents are doing. In-organic is when something the parents are doing or not doing is causing the FTT.<br /><br />I think if his weight starts going up slowly then it'll all be good. Trust your 'mama gut' (and nurse gut) and don't do the formula if you don't think he needs it. If you really feel the need to supplement and are comfortable with it checkout Eats on Feets or Milk Share in your area.<br /><br />You can also check out fenugreek and other meds to increase your supply and pump output if you think that's an issue.<br /><br />I just want to say that I think you are awesome. I can't imagine working the shifts you do and managing to pump enough to EBF. You're doing a great job and keep it up.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713501808975761143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-61947032023352591892011-03-23T09:21:50.740-05:002011-03-23T09:21:50.740-05:00OMG...SO adorable!

Then you can supplement with that, instead of the formula he seems to hate.<br /><br />[btw, the word verification for the comment is "offer" -- quite a coincidence, since I'm suggesting you look to see if a woman has any breastmilk to offer. :-)]Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118292622669944944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-63360987944577864722011-03-22T14:31:25.625-05:002011-03-22T14:31:25.625-05:00Let me tell you, I've had the weight issue wit...Let me tell you, I've had the weight issue with BOTH my kids but the reflux with the second. <br /><br />She would throw up after EVERY meal. The docs weren't concerned, though I said it was reflux. Finally weight became more of an issue and they did every test under the sun but found nothing. Since this his my second baby with weight issues, I'm over worrying. I actually skipped the last two weigh ins because I'm over freaking out. She stopped puking the second they prescribed the zantac so I'm sure with us it was a 6 month bout with reflux but the bigger issue with us is, we just have small kids. My husband isn't big, I'm not big, it's in our genes. Don't let the docs freak you out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615430255988669257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-89995579246206753412011-03-22T12:57:34.967-05:002011-03-22T12:57:34.967-05:00Also, her birth weight was 6 lb 9 oz.Also, her birth weight was 6 lb 9 oz.AtYourCervixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238926588944507794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-86389381560178177832011-03-22T12:57:00.044-05:002011-03-22T12:57:00.044-05:00I hope this helps to reassure you.

At 6 months, she was 12 lb, 14 oz. Only a 2 oz gain in 2 months. We started solids (high calorie ones) and adding some formula to the breastmilk at bottle feeds. The ped was making comments about failure to thrive.<br /><br />Needless to say, her weight was up to 14 lb 8 oz just one month later.<br /><br />She has always been on the small side with the growth charts. To this day, she is 7 1/2 yrs old, and is skinny as can be, and weighs about 45 lbs.AtYourCervixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238926588944507794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-88751300174943895972011-03-22T10:45:37.083-05:002011-03-22T10:45:37.083-05:00What a cutie!
Reflux can be ROUGH. My first boy ...What a cutie!<br /><br />Reflux can be ROUGH. My first boy went through it from about 5 weeks until around 8 or 9 months. We tried Zantac for bit, but found Prevacid worked much better. He stayed on that for quite awhile. We ended up taking him off of it around nine months, and he did fine until after his first birthday when we had to put him back on it for a couple of months. It definitely isn't a fun time for the little ones, but they do eventually get stronger. All I know is that you'll probably have a MUCH happier baby now that he's on it :) You may not see results for a few weeks, and if you don't, ask for a med change. He'll gain weight before you know it!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788593857998937296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-34669263552409044382011-03-22T10:39:44.714-05:002011-03-22T10:39:44.714-05:00Oh my goodness, look at those big, beautiful eyes!...Oh my goodness, look at those big, beautiful eyes!
