failure to thrive

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
is what my doctor told me about DD.  She also said I am vitamin B deficient and once I start taking the shots my DD should start gaining weight rapidly.  So here I am thinking I am giving my baby the best by EBF when really I was depriving her of vitamins...I feel like the worst mother ever and have cried over this many times :(

    my DS got diagnosed with this last year (he is 9 though) but i know how you feel, i have tried nutritionist and so many other things, and yet i feel like i've let him down by not providing what he needs to grow and thrive!, hopefully with the shots your DD will be ok. GL

    Please do not feel bad.  You are doing everything you can.  DS is going through something similar (he is diagnosed as "slow feeder" and has a hard time sucking). 

    Please don't beat yourself up about it.  Many women go through the same thing.  If you want to chat, let me know.

    Please don't beat yourself up! I was failure to thrive way back when and I'm totally healthy. I was just a tiny baby. My mom told me she used to feel so helpless. But sone kids truly are just small. Keep your head up.
