16 month old not gaining weight?
My 16 almost 17 month old is not gaining any weight. He has gained 1lb since 12 months. Anyone else having trouble or had trouble with this? The kid eats like a horse, has no diarrhea and Im not a parent who doesnt let him have sweets and fatty foods. He eats anything and has 2 pediasures a day and still nothing. He is 30 almost 31 inches long so he is growing just not gaining weight.
he weighed 19 at 12 months... The doc offered to send us to a specialist if we thought it was nessecary and I will take him in a few months to see if hes gained weight and if not I am going. He doesnt know what would cause it. He doesnt have diarrhea and he eats good and its not entirely healthy food, its food that would cause weight gain alot he eats cookies and crackers for snacks (goldfish crackers he loves 'em!) and eats fast food once or twice every 2 weeks. Im not a health nut or anything. He does get fruit and veggies and he drinks the v8 fusion drinks. Im not sure why he wouldnt be gaining weight.

Don't worry about it unless the doctor says it's a problem. He'll be having another checkup in a few weeks. How much did he weigh at 12 months?
