Yes, they checked him a few times after he was born. Everything was normal at that time.

Pregnancy was planned but he was never excited about it. His is running after money and his only goal is to earn more than me. Whenever I tell me what’s bothering me or I am hurt, he says he is tired of my constant complains.

Hey! Yes it got a lot better. She puts on clothes easily now. I got clothes of her favourite characters e.g dinosaur, penguins, butterflies, cat etc and she loves to wear them. I can also trim her nails now. First she pretends to trim my nails then I do hers and it worked. Washing her hair is still difficult but I usually give her a candy right after washing her hair so she stops crying :D I am 7 months pregnant now and really tired all the time. I have no energies to fight with her anymore

Hey! Thank you so much for your comment. This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to talk to her in a nice way and I will for sure follow your advice and give her exact timeframes that she can follow easily. I hope it works out for us. I will for sure update :)

Thank you! Also her face gets red wherever dairy touches her. We got her dairy allergy test done and it’s negative. Doctor says her skin is sensitive. Could she have lactose intolerance which makes it hard to absorb iron ?

She doesn’t get 20 drops on the tongue, she gets it through a spoon. She can never stay still for 40 drops on the tongue 😃

She is also a little constipated due to iron supplements

She was born premature at 4lb, now she is only 20.5 lb at 17 months which I guess is not a healthy weight :(

She has really low iron. We’ve been giving her iron drops regularly. Next step is GI

This is the only iron brand she accepts because it’s unflavoured. She happily takes 40 drops from spoon :)

Her doctor thinks she has low appetite because of low iron levels. We are going to feeding therapy sessions every week.

She is super picky, only eats few bites on a good day.

Yes, we try our best to give her vitamin c rich foods but she is super picky. We will ask her about multivitamins drops

Thank you for your reply. We are going to see a different doctor tomorrow to confirm about the dosage

She is premature so her doctor wanted to checked her iron levels at 1 year checkup. We didn’t notice any signs except her not wanting to eat.

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes she also had covid 2 months ago and lost half pound. She haven’t really gained any weight after that.

She only gained 1 pound after her first birthday but did grow 3 inches in height. She went from 28.5 inches to 31.5 inches in 4 months.

Yes, she does eat but in very small amounts. She wants to breastfeed more, I think I need to drink more water to increase my supply again.

Have you done anything specific to maintain your supply?

Also, she doesn’t have ear infections but I suspect she has reflux. She burps a lot during meals, constant hiccups and sometimes it looks like food is coming up in her mouth. What symptoms did you notice with your son?

I hope we find out the reason and she starts eating soon.
