Year and a half old. It may feel silly, but she’s always been in the single-digit percentile, usually low-single-digits at that. She was born about 3 months premature, and after her weight gain stalling, they prescribed a medication with a side effect of increased appetite to give things a jump start. I think it’s going to work 🙂

    Nothing silly about that at all. It is indeed a great feeling.

    I don’t have kids, but I went through a year of my pup not eating enough in the evening and vomiting in the morning several times a week.
    That was worrysome, and she didn’t come out of me.

    You must feel pretty great.

    And be proud of yourself for advocating for your child’s health like that. This is a pattern you’re setting your child up for that helps them both medically and in terms of their self-worth.

    Hey I feel you.

    My daughter was 1 month prem. Started at 8th centile but dropped to 3rd over a month or 6 weeks.

    5 months along now. She’s doing a bit better in the last couple of weeks but still hard work.

    Good luck anyway mate.
