We had to drop nursing sessions to try to get him to up solid intake. We also changed the kinds of foods we fed him, adding butter, oil, or peanut butter to pretty much everything. He bounced back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-lost-weight-at-his-check-up#post-2227951 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 15:44:11 +0000 DisneyBee 2227951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my DS#2 for his 15-month check-up last week, and he actually lost 1.5 pounds since his last appointment. My pediatrician was a little concerned since babies are supposed to gain weight at every visit, and asked that we come back in a month to re-weight him. He went from 95% in weight to 45%. We feed my DS#2 about every 3 hours since he seems to be hungry often. The only thing I attribute it to is switching from bottles to sippy cups. Since then, his milk intake has decreased from 20 ounces a day to about 4 to 10 ounces a day. However, he is eating a lot more solid foods, including a lot of yogurt and cheese since he isn't drinking much milk anymore. </p> <p>DS#2 has always weighed more at each visit compared to DS#1 at the same age. Now, they are exactly the same. </p> <p>Has anyone had their baby lose weight at a check-up, as opposed to gain weight? </p>
