Journey has always been in the lower percentiles since he was born. He only weighed 6lbs 12 oz when he was born and has been slow to gain weight. We took Journey to the doctor for his 4 month check up and he weighed 14 pounds and was in the 10th percentile. Two months later we took him for his 6 month check up and he had only gained a pound. The doctor wasn't "too" concerned because he did have a real bad stomach bug between those two visits and that is what probably accounted for him not gaining a lot of weight and he is still showing growth, albeit slow. Well, the child eats like a little pig. His little, fat cheeks are his prominent feature, so to look at him you would think he weighs a ton. I was down at my in-laws house last night and we decided to weigh him to see what the little chunk weighs. To our surpise he had actually lost 1/2 a pound. So in three and a half months he hasn't gained any weight. So my question is, why? As a parent, all of the scary things run through your mind. Nobody wants something wrong with their child. He is not scheduled to go back to the doctor until his 9 month check-up. The doctor told us that if we were concerned he wasn't gaining weight then we could bring him in to do a wieght check. So I just called the doctor to see what we should do. Please just pray it is nothing and that he begins to gain weight...... I'll let you know something as soon as the doctor calls me back.
