Asher has never been a very ferocious eater. He was breastfed until he was 10.5 months old, but he often fell asleep while nursing (which was pretty much the only time he slept until he was 6 months old). He got solids at about 5-6 months, which was really not all that fascinating for him.
Asher started off life at the 10%. That is his current goal through early intervention. He is not on the growth chart as of now. In fact, he is back under 17 lbs, after being 17 lb 2oz in Feb.
Asher's biggest issue is drinking. He just plain doesn't drink much. Seriously, like 8-12 oz on a good day. Today he's had about 8. It's very frustrating and worrysome.
The early intervention people have even put the fear of God into me by mention BRAIN DAMAGE if he does not eat/drink more and get to his potential. Scary stuff!
