[quote=Anonymous]I had one who took forever to feed and reflux. It was a long slow road. The baby had no stamina to eat, ate slowly, always ended up with reflux screaming. The first 18 months were a blur of constant feeding, burping, and comforting. I felt like all we did was feed, but weight gain was slow. Later in life and looking back, a lot of this was caused by low muscle tone, and earlier intervention with a pediatric physical therapist would have been helpful. I think it is worth getting an appointment with a developmental pediatrician since weight loss is happening. Does the baby have good head control? Lift up from a mat during tummy time or lay flat like a pancake? Does the baby "feel heavier" than friend's babies? All of these are signs of low tone.[/quote]
