From: a worried mum, Seeing the view of my 7mths daughter's weight was 5kg. She is at 1 percentile which is low. She is drinking well 150ml 3 hrsly and eating solid bits n bits. The gp doctor advised me to see specialist at kk hospital to review my daughter's weight. The doctor said might be something is wrong with her organs inside which he think it is best to check it out. But I find that it is too young for my baby. Any mummies have the same situation as me as i am getting worried for her weight? As for me, i am a skinny mum eat alot but never grow fat.

Hi, my daughter (32 months now) was 40% at birth and it declined slowly over these 2+ years to 3%. She has several food allergies and we the parents are "skinny" pple. We get feedback from school that she eats very well and eats the most amongst her classmate. Initially, I didn't think it was a problem, I attributed it to her being active and having skinny genes, but we were given a referral to see a dietician at KKH in mid-June, so we just went. The dietician gave us some specific dietary recommendations and to my surprise, with the diet changes, she grew to the 5% during the last review in mid-August. My advice to you - go see the specialist. They would be able to help you.
