Hi,

I am a Doula who has subscribed for several years bu seldom post.
I am working with a woman and her 7 month old son. I have her permission to
give details about them. My question is, why might this baby be so slow to
gain and is he in any danger? He is fed Expressed Breast milk and very
limited solid foods. He is currently takeing between 17 and 22 ozs of milk a
day. Baby cannot be coaxed to take more ad in fact when he was taking 22-26
oz a day he had bouts of true vomitting.


Born at 32weeks, 2lbs 10oz with asymetrical IUGR due to placental difficenies.
he also has hyperspadia and a hydrocele. he is currently 5 months adjusted
age and 11 lbs and4 oz, He had maintained at the 5% in the growth chart and
fell to the 3% he continues to gain but only about 3 to 4 oz a month. his
pediatriean isn't very concerned but mom is very worried. She is using
attachment parenting style, co sleeperr and is very loving.

Mom had elevated b/p and swelling, and some protien present when baby was
deliverd by emergency C-section.

Any thoughts would be great.


Thank you treesa
