Well my son is 3 months (15 weeks) he has been in and out of the hospital for 2 of those months. He wasn't gaining weight, he wasn't even maintaining his weight, he was loosing it! He was 6lbs 3oz at birth and went down to 5lbs! He wasn't holding down any food and my pediatrician had no idea why. She was telling us to feed him slower and burp him more as well as changing his formula twice, this was not helping at all. After many trips to the hospital in only 2 months I got tired of my questions not being answered. I decided to take him to All Childrens Hospital Emergency Room. I wasn't here very long and they told me he had really bad reflux put him on medication and told me he was allergic to milk protein and changed his formula one last time. He had to be admitted though for failure to thrive! My pediatrician wasn't worried about his weight loss. After being there for 3 long days we finally got to go home. He is doing great now! He is the happiest little boy you could ever meet. Though due to my circumstances he had to start going to daycare, this is not something I like doing. He was only there 4 days and came home with a cold! I'm hoping it's just because of it being a new place. We will see but he is home for the week so he can get better.
