I am worried about my little guy
I really am. Do I have a case of Mommy envy? Am I overreacting? I am not sure. But I do know I am worried. My little boy was three at the end of July. At that time he weighed in at about 28 pounds. He is hardly on any of the charts for height or weight. He has a history of not gaining and of losing weight. He is such a little guy. You can see every vertebrae in his back and every rib. He went in to get his flu shot on Saturday and he is only 26.5 pounds now.
That means he has lost again.
Things that worry me:
His coloring that has been always dark is kinda yellowed some.
He is cold all the time. Always wants layers of clothes on.
I cannot get him to eat at home.
He has stopped eating much at daycare. Like a quarter of a piece of toast, a spoon of lunch, that kind of not eating much.
He will have one swallow of milk and say his tummy is all full.
He self weaned from breastmilk the day after his third birthday.
He is has asthma and allergies.
He has a rash all around his mouth.
He goes to daycare sleeps for 3 - 4 hours in the morning. Is woken for lunch, doesn't really eat and then sleeps for another 2.5 hours. He goes to bed about 9:30 and can sleep till 5 usually. SOmetimes even going to sleep earlier. Sometimes later.
His happy go lucky attitude and laid back self has disappeared into a whiny little guy.
I am worried. I followed my mommy instinct and called his doctor. I have an appointment with her and him on the 24th. I just wonder if it is me or if it is him.
My daughter has always been off the chart for height and never had trouble gaining and growing. She is a very strong healthy child. Am I just overcomparing siblings? Do I have cause to worry? Any suggestions?
