Weight gain for premature babies

This question is definitely best suited for your pediatrician. But, here is a little advise that might help... I have been a caregiver many years for the elderly. Sometimes a patient just needed a few more calories then they were able to consume through their regular meals and therefore would need to drink a can or two of Ensure every day. I do not recommend Ensure to your small child, but there is also Pediasure. I would consult your child's pediatrician to see if this would be a good source of extra nutrition for your child. NOTE: It is not recommended to up your child's fat intake with a bunch of empty calories, such as simple sugars or foods with high fat like fried foods. I would also like to say... You only mentioned your child's weight. Their height and bone structure should all come into play. My daughter was very tiny as well, but once she started reaching her teen years everything started to change.

My daughter was on time (or there abouts) & she is now 14 months - she only just now weighs 10 kilo so your son probably isn't doing too bad for a premature baby, well i don't think so :) Maybe you could just try getting him to eat a few more things with a bit higher fat content, then he'll slowly gain weight but with his activity wont get fat or anything. Ask your Dr what's good for him to eat to help increase his weight without making him blow up like a balloon. Good luck, xxx

My youngest son also prematured and got the same problem. He is 3 years now and still not reach 10 kg even he eats a lot.

his pediatrician is the best person who can help you.
