My daughter is now 7 mo. Old. When she went in for her 6 mo. Baby wellness check she had lost some weight, 13.8 lbs down to 13.02 lbs. I took her in 2 wks later and she was 12.97 lbs. She is not crawling yet in fact she is reaching those mile stones at a slow rate. She is eating almost 2 cups of rice cereal, one jar of food, drinking 2 juice cups, and nursing every two hrs in between her food. I do not understand why she is loosing weight. Her doc. Told me that the amount she was taking in was a suffiecent amount and she should be chubby, but she isn't. She is quite skinny. Her arms and legs are very thin. Her bms movements have now become infrequent and difficult. The last 3 she has needed help to expell her poo. I do not know what to do...The doc.'s do not seem to think it is a major issue. But I can't help but worry and wonder why???
