I'm wondering if we will get a referral to a nutritionist at his next appt, which is very soon. He's only had one appt since the one where they told us he wasn't eating enough, and at that one, the progress update was "Things are going a bit better." This time, I'm going to have to report that we've been at a plateau since then.
He did catch up his height a little when he started eating (and had the growing pains to prove it), but he's still loosing ground against average, I think. People generally guess he's a year or a year and a half younger than he is now, which doesn't help the confusion when he starts discussing evolution.
We try to get protein into him in the morning, because that seems to set up the whole day. We also try and get him to eat at least one large (for him) meal all at once every other day or so. It seems like sometimes he tapers off his eating until his stomach shrinks -- and that's when things get really tough.
We've also established some rigid routines... we have tuna melts on Tuesday, beef at the science center, etc. Because that sometimes helps him get organized to eat. He still won't necessarily eat more than one bite, but the routine seems to make that first bite easier.
ok, off to follow links
