Kelly:
My 22 month old daughter has a severe milk allergy and reflux (which she
has almost totally grown out of) however I have never had to worry about her
weight. There is a boy in her daycare class that weighed 14-15 pounds at
1 year.
Even though he has no known allergies and is generally very healthy, his
mother has taken him to many specialists because of his low weight.
Jessica does manage to spend more time at the table eating than any
of the other kids so I guess it makes up for the fact that she
used to vomit several times a week.
