hello,
so here i am 20 yrs old and think i may have lost my mind!! i have had my first child 7 months ago and its suppose to be the greatest moment of your life till you recieve that one call that can change it all. worst day of my life!
anyway i need some advice since i have no one to turn to and the one person i do (her father) still wants to be in denial about it all and doesnt understand it to begin with!! so my Jorja is 7 months old 14lbs (found out when she was 6 weeks) and has not gained weight for a month and this month has only managed to gain a lb even, i have tried everything we add butter to food, increased enzymes,she is even on the 24 calorie diet for formula, ive even resorted to feeding her yogurt to put on the pounds. she is 27 inches long however they still pressure me into the she needs to gain weight, and now they have enrolled her into pt cause she is so skinny that she wobbles when she sits up and falls over, i feel like ive been strecthed to my limit and need to know of other options for weight gain or maybe just someone to talk to. i feel like this is to much i mean shes on 11 medications already! i really dont wanna go to the feeding tube option, id really like to hear how others dealt and or feelings about the feeding tube..
thanks,
stressed mother
p.s also does anyone know how to relieve the gas pains cause by all these medication, nothing seems to work!!
