Little prince is underweight
Our little prince is now 14 months old. Went to his doctor 2 weeks ago and was told that he is underweight.
At 14 months old, he only weighs 7.85kg, up 0.85kg since February 2008. 0.85kg over a period of two months is nothing to shout about. He should be weighing at least 9 to 10kg by now. The doctor is very concern about his weight gain. He is on solid food with cereal for breakfast and porridge for lunch and dinner. We cook the porridge with either meat, potato, carrot or spinach. And he is eating well with a big bowl of porridge per serving. The only thing he does not like is drinking milk. He prefers breast milk as he was fully breastfed since birth, but at this stage there is not enough breast milk to keep him satisfied.The doctor advised us to fry the meat and other ingredients with good cooking oil first before putting them into pot to cook his porridge. This will add more calories and hopefully he will gain weight. If after a month of trying out this method, and he still does not gain weight, he would have to go for medical check up to determine the cause of not gaining weight.
Beside not gaining weight, he is fine and very active. He is a fine little boy and we have a tough time keeping up with his activities. How we wish he grows up faster so that we can have more time for ourselves. But on the other hand, we treasure your baby look and baby talk. You are our joy.

Happy Mother’s Day.
He’ll pick up the weight. Mine was a premie. She was small for a while, but picked it up, and now eight years later…she’s overweight. Aargh!! I love my little cuddly bunny.
