My daughter is just about 14 months. She weighs in at 19.5 pounds.The doctor says she is about 2 pounds underweight. I said well, at least she doesn't look too thin.And he gave me a strange look and said well, yeah she does.
If you were to see her, she looks like a normal, healthy lean baby. She's not chubby, shes not skinny either.
Do you think that weight is too little for her or is this a case of the doctor just comparing every child to eachother and its just on the charts.
It really bothers me because I try to get her to eat,but she really doesnt eat that much. I give her b.fast,lunch, dinner with several heathy snacks and drinks in between.She'll take a few bites of something and shes just done.I can't force her to eat more than what she is eating.What can I do?
