My daughter started out full-term at 5 lbs. 12 oz. and is now 23 years old and of perfectly normal size. My son started out full-term at 7 lbs. 4 oz. and is now 21 years old. He is very short -- only about 5' 5", and only weighs about 120 lbs, but he is healthy and happy. Both of them were well fed and healthy, but always always on the low end of all the growth charts. Seemed to just be their genetic lot in life. Keep up all the good work you are doing with Seth and try not to worry. As long as he is healthy, try not to worry too much about him being small. Small doesn't always equate with unhealthy. I love reading about your kiddos and how you are serving our God.

My pediatrician' s kids were always very skinny and wouldn't eat healthful stuff and grew up just fine - the oldest even went to MIT. He always just kept a laid back attitude. For example about potty training he would say that you don't often see kids going to college in diapers! One friend whose child was fearless and would jump off anything (not a cliff, mind you), he reassured her that this would stop after she broke her leg - haha! You are doing a great job!<br />marty hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151400761448811936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194119873694032441.post-41227123222790890262014-11-03T23:45:35.864-06:002014-11-03T23:45:35.864-06:00Back when I was a preemie (in the 80s), the doctor...Back when I was a preemie (in the 80s), the doctor told my mother to put Karo corn syrup in all my bottles! Ew! It sure did fatten me up though. I'm with Seth on milk, cream, and Ensure/Instant Breakfast-type things. Yecch. <br /><br />I weighed 3 lbs at birth, dropped to 2 upon being intubated. I had an NG tube but upon coming home, I ate a pretty normal diet - probably more veg heavy than the average Western kid's, and I refused some normal "kid staples". I was PAINFULLY skinny as a child despite my good appetite, though. Now I'm in my 20s and can out-eat most grown men. My coworkers tease me when we have a potluck because I describe every dish on the table as "my absolute favorite!" I'm the tallest member of my family (dad included) and on the thin side of normal.<br /><br />What about avocado? Seth might like it mashed up plain/on toast, or it's GREAT in smoothies! Here is a recipe for avocado chocolate pudding that requires no cooking.<br /><br />http://thischickcooks.net/2012/06/01/chocolate-avocado-pudding-for-non-avocado-and-avocado-lovers/<br /><br />Coconut milk? It has a ton of fat.<br /><br />Even without avocado, smoothies would be good. You can pack a TON of calories and nutrients into them without making them super filling. <br /><br />Good thoughts to Seth (and all your kiddos, of course!)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17688857418852995112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194119873694032441.post-70011717691748274582014-11-03T08:41:02.063-06:002014-11-03T08:41:02.063-06:00This "quintessential grandma" is gratefu...This "quintessential grandma" is grateful for your faithful prayers.

I will pray for weight gain for him and continued excellent development/growth for them all! Seth has always held a very special place in my heart...seems I was always on my knees for that one! So happy to hear they are thriving, they certainly look great!

Her Dr. said that as long, and more importantly, she hits the cognitive milestones, that is WAY more important then a number on a scale. Having said that, it is important that we watch, wonder,and worry when they lose a little. Remember, this is the way God made him and he is perfect to him. I have had to say that to myself many times when I worry about my daughter. She went from 32 down to 29 and so on and then all of a sudden put on a pound a month and so on, losing a little, gaining a few ounces. It will work out.
