Underweight 14 month old--help!
| Tue, 07-13-2004 - 12:26am |
My 14 month old son is in the 5th percentile for his weight and 50th percentile for his height. My pediatrician keeps wanting me to come in every month to check his weight and be sure that he hasn't dropped off the "chart". Developmentally he is totally fine, hits all his milestones etc, I'm just stressed out that I'm doing something wrong. He eats, but he's picky, one day he likes something the next he wants nothing to do with it....anyone have any advice?

If you are worried, take him to another doctor and get that advice. Personally, as long as he is eating and not loosing weight and hitting all the milestones, I would not worry about it.
