DCG is 18 months old. Teeny tiny for her age. In the 10-20 percentile for height and weight. Now my own daughter was like this...but my own daughter ate like a horse.
This child does not eat anything. She doesn't eat fruit or veggies. She will eat bread and meat if it is really saucy. For example today we had sloppy joes on toasted wheat bread (I minced up some veggies and mixed it into her meat as well as put some on the sides) and cut it into fourths...She breaks her food apart and smashes it up into tiny little bites to eat. It took her 45 mins to eat one fourth of her sandwich and then she was done and full. I know I can't possibly get all the veggies she needs hidden into such a little amount of food.
Her bowl movements are almost always white and she either has diarrhea or she is severely constipated. When I say severely constipated I mean her bowel movements are sooo big and sooo hard that they get stuck and she screams and cries in pain and usually needs assistance.
When she had her last physical doc said she needed to be put on pediasure and fruit and veggies needed to be encouraged. She also has to go back to the doctor over Christmas break because her blood work showed an iron deficiency and her white blood cell count was off.
DCM seems to be wishy-washy most of the time on rather or not she cares or worries about the matter.
Any of you have children like this? What should I do about it?
