Hi,
Background: My DD is 1 yr old. She was born 5 weeks early at 5# birth weight. She gained normal amount of weight every week until her 7th mo and was 15# at 7 months. She hit a major stall period then for 2 months and around 9 months suddenly hit a major growth spurt gaining 1# a month for the 9th and 10th month taking her weight close to 17.5#. Again her weight has been stalled the last 2 months. She has a major dairy allergy and we suspect other allergies.
She eats 1/2 an avocado, some oatmeal, 3 oz of rice formula (Ultra Care) and BM everyday. I think she eats decently and should be gaining. Why has she not been gaining for the last 2 months? It cannot be that she is allergic. If so then what was the 2 month major growth spurt gain of 2# around 9 months?
I think her problem is she is low on stomach acid and isn't digesting her food well. I cannot tell from her poo because the avocado doesn't show well.
So - what can I do to help her digest and absorb her food better? Please help me......on reading these boards I gathered smidgens about:
Zinc, Bubbie's sauerkraut juice, Molybdenum?, Magnesium?, Klaire's digestive enzymes?, Probiotics?, something I am not thinking of???
But I am all confused about the above.....help me sort my thoughts. What digestive enzymes can I supplement her with? If Klaire is the company I should stick with which of their enzymes should I use and can I supp my 1 yr old DD with that? What probiotics? I want to see results. I used Mindlinx Neonate and Bubbie's sauerkraut juice but I didn't see any results. Why isn't she gaining weight and what can I do?

. I'm sorry it bothers you if people call her tiny, but it sounds to me like you're doing a great job, and she's healthy.
