Hi, I am a mother of 4, 1 boy and 3 girls. 2 girls are hearing impaired.
The last, the baby, is the reason I have decided to sign up for this forum. Maybe I can get some help. Today she had to go through a series to blood tests and had to bounce from dr to dr. She has a condition called "failure to thrive." For some reason, the doctors dont understand why, she is not growing like a normal baby. She is 3 months old and only weighs 1 lb heavier then her birth weight.
I came here to see if I can get some support, help, and ideas on how I can help my baby grow. She has been fed 4 oz every 2 hours, GoodStart formula. I did start out breast feeding her but since she wasnt gaining weight, the doctor told me it might be my milk so for me to change to formula. I did but it didn't work, she still didn't gain the weight she is supposed to be gaining.
does any1 have any ideas i can try?
