[quote=Anonymous]Both my kids were failure to thrive - and not on the growth chart til about 6 mos. In both cases it was a dairy allergy. This is why the advice to simply supplement more/fortify formula can be dangerous because the formula can in fact be causing the issue. Op have your ped give you a stool card and run a test for occult blood in stool - basically blood that you can’t see with the naked eye. This would indicate an allergy of some kind. For us, breastmilk with strict dairy avoidance and supplementation of alimentum ready to feed resulted in immediate and dramatic weight gain. Good luck and please know it gets better. My kids are now thriving and have outgrown their allergies.[/quote]
