If baby cannot tolerate casein and whey, then supplementing with soy may be
an option. Adding 1/2 tsp of olive oil to fruits or veggies is a way to get

However, all that said, he sounds like normal tall & skinny baby.
Is he within range for developmental areas for age? NOT where his bro was at

We obsess over growth charts. I don't have a chart handy, but is 25% down to

line is slowly going up, that is what counts, even if it is slow. Has she
tried plotting him on WHO chart? Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
