    Please help I have twin grandsons that are breastfed and only weighed a little over 5lbs at birth, My son and his wife had been taking them to the same Dr. for all of their checkups and didnt see a problem with their growth or weight gain until all of a sudden when they were almost a year old and then when they slowed down gaining weight she decided that they were to small so they were taken to the hospital were they put a feeding tube in the smaller of the two because he wouldn't take a bottle and they wanted to give him a special formula. The parents were told that if the baby would drink the formula any other way that he wouldnt have to have the feeding tube. He pulled the feeding tube out 4 or 5 times in the 5 days he was in the hospital and sure enough as soon as they got home from the hospital he pulled it out again so his mother worked and worked with him and figured out how to get him to drink the formula without the feeding tube but the hospital called CPS on her because she didnt bring him back to get the feeding tube put back in. He had gained 2lbs 4oz in 2 and a half weeks on the formula so that proves he was drinking the formula but cps swooped in and took the baby without even checking to see if he had gained weight! He only weighed 5lbs 2.4oz when he was born and by this time he was 1 years old and he weighed 14lbs 8.4oz but they said he wasnt even on the growth chart so they took him. He had just seen the Pediatrician that morning when they took him and he was a little concerned that he was small but he was gaining weight so he wasnt that concerned. How much weight do they expect a baby to gain from birth to 1 year of age? This mother has already breastfed 6 other children ranging in age from 4-19yrs and they were all small when they were little and they all weighed more when they were born, This is crazy! Theywant mothers to breastfeed but they punish them when they do! Do you have any information on this? because I have spent countless hours on the internet just trying to find information on breastfed twins with low birth weight but I cant find any!

    My 3 year old son hasn’t been growing, I’ve been so stressed. Sometime around 2-2.5 dr said he hadn’t grew at all, and now his bone age test is behind. He’s always hit milestones well and sometimes even early, he’s talking so good as well. He’s a picky eater though and half the day is struggling to get him to eat, so more than likely that’s our trouble. We have our first endocrinologist appointment though just to check some things.

      Personally, I’d cook baby’s food the same way I cook my own. And if I wanted more calories for my baby, I’d offer more caloric dense food themselves (avocado, peanut butter, potatoes etc) than just cooking them in an oil/fat.

      @@DoneNaturally we already do exactly what you’re saying. Everyone keeps telling us the same thing. Feed her more calorie dense foods and feed her more.
      The problem is that you can’t make her eat more food or drink more milk.
      So we’ve been adding extra oil on top of the foods themselves to make them even more caloric.
      I’m mainly wondering if you can overdo it with the oils?

    What about if the baby’s head went to 4 %? Her body is 31 % but her head for some reason had a dip. This os my grand daughter she just turned 6 months old . Her mom is worried. She can’t seem to eat more than 1 to 2 ounces at a time. But she eats frequently. I am small and my family is short people. So I wasn’t worried but she was. I am worried now because of the head for some reason is 4 %! It is not mis shaped at all. It is perfectly normal head. And compared to her body she looks fine and normal. But they are sending her to do swallow study, that is normal, then they are wanting her to go to lactate specialist so they went there. They are trying different nipples. Nothing seems to make her eat more. Once in a while she will eat 3 or 4 ounces but not often. We tried not feeding her more often and so it less often but still only 1 to 2 ounces at a time. Some days she has 17 ounces total and other days 22 they want her to get to 24 ounces and we are trying. I have her during the day so I have her 8-10 hours. I am trying to get her to drink more. Now the next thing they are sending her to an ENT to see if she has a cleft palate that you can’t see. Idk. I have a hole on her roof of my soft palate and I used to get rice stuck in there and it would go to my nose. And I could blow it out. I wonder if that is a soft mucosal palate? But it never caused me issues. I say that cat hey say it can be genetic. We also have Neurofibromatosis 1 and 2 on my moms side. My sis and her daughter has it. And they are small but no one else has it. I also wonder if that would cause a short stature and head for a baby? Idk it is now worrying me because of the head being small on the chart.

      @@TheReneepruitt It sounds like you all are grappling with a lot and everyone is operating out of care for your granddaughter. Is she meeting her developmental milestones even though she is small? Working on sitting up? Rolling from back to front or front to back? Grasping things? Social laughs and smiles? Being 6 months old - can she start solids? For many babies, if they need extra calories (Im not saying she does or doesn’t) but solids/purées can offer calories and usually aligns with their interest in foods and and keeps them busy and helps their brain develop by learning new skills.

I’m just scarred that they are going to push it the next appointment if she hasn’t gained what they think she should. My son went through the same thing and was forced to supplement but he still was on the smaller size so it’s just frustrating that the peds aren’t seeing any growing as positive, it’s just not enough for them:/

    Yes, I was doing combine feeding until 3m. At her 3m appt, the pediatrician was like, "She's not gaining enough". At her first appt she didnt gain any weight which is why we supplemented in the beginning. Well, that 3m appt is why I switched completely to ff. I could tell my pediatrician didnt like the fact that I was still trying to bf. Guess what happened when I switched completely over to formula? She remained the same percentile and gained as much as she did before. What changed? My pediatrician was no longer telling me that she wasnt gaining enough.

    This is sweet but you need to address the very real concerns when percentiles drop. Mine dropped when baby was sick and when I wasn’t producing enough milk. Also obese babies are not cute or normal. We have an explosion of obesity in children

      Obesity doesn’t occur in exclusively breastfed babies. Obesity increases with formula feeding. Percentiles do not mean anything. Weight gain and development do. If you pay attention to science, you’d see where obesity comes from. It’s not from breastfeeding or Breastmilk fed babies. And you can take your condescending tone (“this is sweet”) out of here. I am a professional clinician. See ya.

      @@DoneNaturally this is sweet that you were giving moms confidence but the research indicates percentiles do matter and they can predict obesity. Breastmilk babies do better but actually the research shows that bottle feeding is more predictive of obesity regardless of whether it’s breastmilk or formula.
      So get yourself updated on some research Ms.Clinician so you can start helping obese kids
