My DS is 18 months old and only just started eating small amounts of food. I really felt it was important to let him decide when he was ready. I have never tried to force food on him or trick him into eating and everyday he is getting...

Thanks for the replies! I should have mentioned in my original post that my DS is not much into solids yet. He did not start really trying foods until he was 15 months. He's warming up to them but still is mostly breastfed. Be he...

Thanks, that's what I thought. I think maybe this doc hasn't encountered a breastfed toddler before or didn't realize how much my DS nurses (he still not much for solids). He nurses a lot AND I've been offering a lot more too while...

My 17 month old DS has a bad chest cold and we just saw our doc today. Actually, we saw a new doc we have not seen before. She's a naturopath so it's mostly good advice but at one point she said to make sure I give him sips of water...

My 17 month DS had his 4th eye tooth cut through a couple of weeks ago. His top two 1 year molars are mostly but not all the way in yet and his top and bottom eye teeth are not either. Do teeth still hurt after they've cut through...

My DS had a tongue tie and could not latch when he was born. We had it clipped when he was just a few days old by Dr O'Hara (in Seattle). I have her contact info if anyone needs it (PM me). I remember her telling us she knew a great...

That is interesting about the medical deduction. It's something to think about for later. I think I just want him to be left alone for a while. He's a highly sensitive little guy and only 16 months old so he does not understand what...

I am shocked. I was sure he was fine. His weight gain had slowed in the last few months but I thought it was because he not that into solids and had started walking and got four molars. BUT his doc had a blood test run and he has...
