Does anyone know of any online resources for failure to thrive or growth disorder in infants?
My son has been under the 3rd percentile for his weight since he was about 4 months old. He’s now 15 months. I’m working with his pediatrician to try to find out the reason for this. He’s on dietary supplements even (a soy “pediasure” due to diarreah/vomiting with milk products. He was breastfed as a young infant so we didn’t know about the milk allergy until after he was one). He’s been tested for cystic fibrosis and some other things with his thyroid. Those were negative but it did show that he had some sort of anemia. I’m looking for some scholastic resources that I can pass along to his doctor in the hopes that we can get him into a normal weight range. Thank you in advance for your help. He hasn’t actually been diagnosed with failure to thrive yet, I’m just working with those terms for lack of a definite reason for this slow growth. Yes, he was tested at 12 months for lead and anemia (required in our state) and that’s when we discovered the anemia. His lead levels were fine. Thank
