[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PPs.

My pediatrician and I are on the same page so far - I actually switched because our first ped didn't seem to think weight gain was an issue. He went from 25% to 10% pretty quickly and last appointment was at about 2%. We are going back next week for an official weigh in on te same scale but we do have a scale at home.

The pediatrician said that as long as he seems fine in te high chair and plays with food, it's normal. However he should be putting some in his mouth, which he isn't.

We have had a long, difficult breastfeeding relationship and I was thrilled that he took formula - it showed me he can consume something else. I am nursing him all the time but I have to return to work.

Did you feel like the feeding clinic helped you?  My ped said she'd like to see how the solids develop and thinks that by 9 months we should have an idea if we need to go there.

We have done speech pathology and GI

PPs how did you know something was wrong that wasn't just a stage? Just weight?[/quote]

6 months seems early for mastering solids. Keep trying and see what happens by the time you go back at 9 months. Things change quickly at this age--skills they don't have one week they will start doing the next and have mastered in another two.
