Health Issues:Baby not gaining adequate weight and height
2006-10-30
Name: Sneha varshini



Hi,
My baby is 11 months old. Right now, her weight is 6.75 kgs and height is 66.5cm. Her weight gain has always been very poor. Right from 4th month she increases only by 100gms to 150 gms every month.

Her birth weight was 2.86 kgs.
For the first three months she has severe colic and she had severe reflux upto 5 months.
During those days she used to vomit very frequently due to reflux.
But after 5th month her apetite has improved a lot. Inspite of that she is not gaining enough weight. Her doctor says that about 10% of the babies wont gain much weight no matter how much ever food they take in.

She rolled over in 4th month.
Her head was fully stable only in 6th month.
She started sitting in 9.5th month
She started crawling in 10 month.
She started to hold and walk in 11th month.

Is she slow in achieving her milestones?
Is her weight gain ok?
How about her growth and height?
I am worried a lot about her health.

Her head sweats a lot. So we are giving her calcium syrup. We are also giving her vitamin drops.
Doctor has asked us to give junior horlicks to her. But no change in her weight gain.
Can we give her biscuits now? If so what type of biscuits?
What can i do to improve my baby's health?

Is there anything specific that i should take care?

regards,
Sneha

hi
my daughter is 15 months and is only 7.5 kgs. she also never grew up after her 7th month. just gained about 100 or less kgs per month. we found out just now that she is lactose intolerant. so givng he rsoya milk. i think its quite ok for ur baby also as she is gaining and not losing. just concentrate on high calorie foods and i am sure , she will be alright.
