Hi! I was all the time thinking about your post. My son is also a bit under weight. He is right now 8 months and weight 15.6 lbs. So the doctor asked me to give him canola oil (regular grocery store product) to him with every solid feeding. Also asked me to thicken his formula.FOr every 1 oz of milk you need to add powder equal to 1 1/2 ozs. He also gave him duo-cal powder. This powder should be mixed with his formula. He asked me to try for one month.
Hope this helps you! Mel replied. Can understand your state,only thing that Ica suggest is to give him milk,cheese,yogurt,rice,pasta,all fatty stuff and also very important would be to add oil or butter in all the food that you cook,like soups,give him toast,on that put butter.
Give him boiled eggs,and so on
Water is very good as well,try to give atleast 600ml of milk per day,if you cannot reach that much,do not worry,try for 400ml atleast.give him milk instead of water,that helps as well to put on weight.
How much does your son weigh?
