Dr. Pang Re-Check

At our 9-month doctors appointment Landon had dropped to the 35% in weight. Up until then he had always maintained a 50% in weight and 50% in height. But, since that had dropped at his Jan 21st appointment, our pediatrician wanted us to come back in sometime between Jan 21st and his one-year appointment to do a re-check. So, it's now been about 6 weeks and we went back into Dr. Pang's office Friday, Feb 26th. Unfortunately, in those 6 weeks he only gained 2 ounces so now he's weight had dropped to the 20-something precentile. Yikes!!! I swear I feed this kid. He poops like 3 or 4 times a day so he has to be eating to be disposing of his matter that frequently. But, 2 ounces in that time frame is not good. I know all the throw-ups are a big contribution. Trying to maintain the dairy-free diet probably isn't helping. Anyways, our pediatrician is sending us back to our Peds Gastro doc and he also put in a request for us to try occupational therapy. Wish us luck....
