My daughter had many medical problems, she is now gaining weight very slow can anyone help?

She had a coarchtation of the aorta repaired at 36hrs old and a vsd which was repaired at around 6 months old. She has also had surgery earlier this year on her intestines because they were not in the right position (malrotation)at around 2 陆 yrs old, and more recently been diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnoea which she has had to have adenoids and tonsils removed. she has always suffered with chronic constipation. She is keen on eating but cannot chew solid foods so she is still on purees, she is very small she will be 3yrs old this week and weighs around 10 kilos, she gains only very little weight at a time, is there anyone who may have experienced anything similar or knows of anyone else that may be able to help me work out if these doctors are missing something as they have no idea as to why she is so little and not gaining the correct amount of weight or growing as she should be ????????????????????????????????????????

get her some pediasure. or some sort of supplement for now. she has had a lot to deal with. her body needs the nurishment. poor thing. my heart goes out to you and your daughter. look at it this way... at least she isn't losing any weight. right?

is she on a cpap or bipap at night for her sleep apnea? or did the surgery on her tonsils and adenoids do the trick? if she is still having sleeping problems, that could effect her metabolism and eating. You tend to burn more calories when you keep waking up all night.

Have her drink plenty of water. Usually when people have a surgery and bad medical illnesses they gain lots of water (not fat). The only way to get rid of water weight gain is to drink plenty of water. This helps push it through your system. Also add plenty of oats to her diet. If there is some weight gain caused from too many calories (too much fat) oats help fill you up faster and has less calories.

my son was a failure to thrive baby,had cronic loose stools,reflux.I coul`d not get weight on him.I gave up on mainstream medicine.I turned to the book Prescription For Nutritional Healing.It could be a problem with the pituitary gland.Some suppliments i have used to put weight and height on my son,include sea mussle,this is good for the enocrine system.Alfalfa,detoxifys the body,alcalizes the body and is good for pituitary gland function,also puitary caps that i got from the healthfood store.Royal jelly,but use this with caution,some people are allergic to bee products.Spirulina,kelp,chlorella,wheatg... things help detox and are chalk full of vitamins and minerals.You can get these in capsule and open the cap and sprinkle on food.
