I know she has grown because she has grown as far as measurements she just needs to feel out. Is it a good idea to add more calories to her diet like the above post? She eatsand drinks fine and is healthy. We are going to get another check up with the be to get some labs done to check again. |
Marcel was 1 lb. 4 oz. at 4mths old -- he is now 2 yrs old and is around 3 - 3.3 pounds. His body feels wonderful; meaning, it "feels" filled out appropriately.
Does Suri feel bony - is that what you mean? If so, you could try feeding an add'l meal (like 7am, 5pm, 8pm) or you could give caloric treats like peanut butter, bits of cheese, add a bit of oil to her food (not a lot though). You could add some canned food, as that's usually highly appetizing.
I think tinies gain later and slower -- and your baby is reallllly tiny, so she *might* have some spurts later, hopefully.
