The expected/average weight gain in the first four months is 4-8 ounces per week. 1.5 pounds is 24 ounces!! Maybe there's absolutely nothing wrong with him and he wasn't as hungry as he thought he was. >> Apparently! Like our Ped said, I think he's just going through a funk. <<He obviously likes to nurse -- think he's trying to just suckle or mouth you? Have you tried offering mouthing toys to him? Is he ready to start solids? (I've forgotten how old Holden is!) Do you use a pacifier? >> He has a really high sucking need. I will nurse him....for about 45 minutes and he will pull off....and then stick his hands right in his mouth. He just really likes to suck. I think part of it is that he's beginning the teething process. I don't think that he's ready to start solids. He's only 10 weeks. He does seem to be getting enough food from me....his hunger is always satisfied and he's shown no interest in my food (he sits on my lap when I eat sometimes). I was planning to hold off on solids until 6 months unless he really needs it before hand. I haven't offered him a mouthing toy...I don't know that he'd be able to " figure it out " He isn't grasping at toys yet. Also, what kind of toy would you suggest, for when he would be ready for one? After all this news and bad press about plastics, I'm paranoid about that chemical. I have offered him a pacifier but he doesn't like them as much as my finger. I've really only used it a few times, like when we were driving down to the shore last weekend and he was EXHAUSTED.... So, instead, I offer him my finger. I started doing that when we were doing the suck-training (and we're still doing that), and we've just continued it. He seems to like my index finger a lot better than a pacifier. And besides...I feel too guilty using a pacifier. I feel like it's my job to " pacify " him. He has been sucking his thumb recently too.....he's getting to be pretty good at that ;-) ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom has tons of scrap fabric....different colors and textures (velvet, corduroy, etc) and we'll have to make some of these.
