My one year old is 17 pounds and the doctor was concerned since based on his previous growth he should weigh at least 19 pounds...now i know that the reason he stopped putting on weight was because for around two months, he refused to eat..all he wanted to do was bite down on his teething ring (since he had 5 or 6 teeth coming in at the same time) and then once they finally came in, he got sick and would barely even take pedialyte...now he is back to eating 3 meals and 3 snacks a day ...but i was wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what i can give him or add to his food in order to up the calories so that he can gain weight a little faster so that he can get back on track? (since the dietician i had an appointment with a week ago was basically no help in that department)
