I wonder if this pale, slow-growing baby has a mild undiagnosed heart defect. Has anyone done a thorough exam looking for this possibility? Zinc deficiency usually doesn't happen til toddlerhood or later. It causes a child to not be able to taste much of anything -- it would be like eating plain, unsalted oatmeal at every meal. Boring.
