Guest guest Posted October 24, 1998 Report Share Posted October 24, 1998 Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some advise again!!! Jack is still very small (16lb5oz & 69.5cms) and is now 15 1/2mths old. He is in proportion and does not look skinny.He is well below the 3rd centile and I asked his paediatrician what we could do to try and get him on the chart. She said that if we gave him exra feeds that would only make him fatter but would not make him grow any taller. I don't know that I agree with her.Jack still eats very little and I'm sure that if his nutritional intake was increased he would gain both weight and height.I just get so depressed about the whole feeding thing.I'm sorry ,I'm just feeling sorry for myself because Jack has had acold for over a week and is eating even less than normal.I know that any extra weight he put on last time will be lost. What I really want to know is if extra feeds would increase his height as well as his weight? Anyone got any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance Elaine mum to Elise(6yrs) & Jack (15 1/2mths)CHaRGE Dumfries,Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
