Question

FTT


My boys were born at 28 weeks, they both spent at least 3 months in the NICU.

Grayson is coming along great since, but Landon is having troubles. His doctor diagnosed him as Failure To Thrive and though he has me set with special spefications he still seems to not be improving.

He is currently almost 8 months old and weighs 9lbs. He eats fine ad frequently but still cannot gain. And at some appointments he is down in weight but never seems to be up. He was only 1lb 14oz's at birth so he has gained some but now he seems stuck between 8-9lb's.

Does anyone have any experience with something like this? I feel like I'm failing him as a father because I cannot seem to get him grow like his brother does.

Hi

I don't have any experience of FTT but I know what it's like comparing one baby to the other. I guess it's one of the down sides of having twins in that you constantly compare what the two of them are up to and how they're progressing.

What does the doc say about trying to get him to put on more weight?

Welcome to BnB btw
