She was slowly losing weight, half a lb since Oct 30. I dumped the Drs recommendations and just started feeding her! She gained 1lb 4 ozs in a week. I did talk to her nutritionist today and told her what I'd done, and she gave me kudos but is sending us to the Dr for bloodwork to check her electrolytes and such.<BR/><BR/>Jack is lucky to have such a mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-1165775760162235952006-12-10T11:36:00.000-07:002006-12-10T11:36:00.000-07:00You did the right thing for your child and no one ...You did the right thing for your child and no one can make those decisions any better than you!
