I took Emma in for her post Pediasure weight check on Monday & Dr. K wasn't very happy. Emma has only gained 6 oz since coming off Pediasure & before that she had gained 2 lbs from Nov - Jan while still on it. Of course I am not real sure how much she should have gained or what she wants Emma to weigh, but there was a definite drop off post Pediasure.
So Dr. K didn't want to do anything too harsh, like immediately put her back on it so we are still on a trial period. She opted not to have me bring Emma back in a few months but for us to weigh Emma at home monthly & if she doesn't start gaining or starts losing we have to take her in to discuss our options. Emma's eating has dropped off a lot too, so that may also be a factor. All she wants to do is play & I am definitely not going to force her into her chair at mealtime if she would rather play. She will eat when she is hungry & thankfully Dr. K agreed with me.
