I also had her eat at regular intervals. She loved light flavor foods Banannas, oatmeal, carrots, creamy wheat, pasta (plain or with a tiny bit of butter or alfredo) raw broccoli, raw cauliflower, just foods that don't have a massive taste. She is 26 now and can eat anything (literally) Hope this helps.

She was never officially labeled failure to thrive, though. Hers ultimately was GI issues, and clearly she's fine now! Good luck with everything. Follow your gut instincts. With me, it was the opposite and the doctor's tried to tell us she was just small, when I knew in my heart there was something wrong!justemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572503138300430587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-80823616046682523752013-01-17T21:47:36.216-07:002013-01-17T21:47:36.216-07:00All of my kids have done this as well.

He eats fine, but doesn't seem to be gaining weight at the rate that they think he should. <br /><br />All of my kids have been small for their age. My 9 year old didn't hit the 5th percentile until he was 8. <br /><br />I think my son's problem is that he NEVER sits still. He is on the go from sun up to sun down. He looks fine, meets all the milestones and other than being a little small, it perfectly fine. <br /><br />Just wanted to let you know that there are other moms out there fighting the same battle!Mom to 4C boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120681010797313361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-13897571996941524782013-01-16T06:50:06.342-07:002013-01-16T06:50:06.342-07:00I know that everyone's kids and experiences ar...I know that everyone's kids and experiences are totally different so don't pay any attention if this doesn't apply. But as you know we went through the whole Failure to Thrive here as well, and even went as far as getting 5 thingies of blood drawn from a barely 2 year old. For us the problem was that for about 4+ months Addison just stopped gaining any weight at all. We saw a Birth to 3 specialist, drew blood, and started her on Pediasure and the thing is that although she did start gaining weight again, she's still in the 3-5th percentile, a tiny baby. but she's hitting (and ahead) on most of the milestones and all the blood work came back normal. So you know what? She's just a small kid. That's just the way it is.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589500389134078994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-16776476070980611762013-01-16T04:20:05.619-07:002013-01-16T04:20:05.619-07:00Wishing you the best !

Good luck...she looks very happy. Mine were very content with breast feeding and weren't interest in eating solids for ages...closer to 9months. Then they could feed themselves more and a bit more interested in eating but like little birds. I remember the stress.
