Still Not Gaining Weight

It could be because he has four molars coming out all at the same time, but Bambino refuses to eat anything but breast milk. He used to eat okay. Not good, but at least he was eating something else other than Mom's milk.

Consequently, he only gained 4 ounces in the past month. He weighed only 16lb4oz last time we visited the Immunologist.

Last week, we went back to the Gastroenterologist. He recommended doing a procedure that would measure his caloric/energy consumption. It's a tedious process that will take 20 minutes. The GI doctor is not discounting the possibility of nasogastric tube feeding if Bambino carries on like this.

Regardless, he is still the active, rambunctious toddler that he is, sometimes I wonder where he is getting all this energy. He loves to sing and dance while watching Barney and loves to run around and play ball with the dog.

Such a super trouper!
