Presumably you mean a gastroenterologist. (A doctor who specializes in digestive issues.) A gestational doctor would be a doctor who specializes in the months of pregnancy....But lets back up a minute. What do you mean by 'underweight' and 'way below the growth chart.' Do you mean that she's 5 pounds below the bottom of the charts? (Which would be around 12 pounds for a 12 month old.) Or 5 pounds below the 50th percentile? (Which would be about 17 pounds -- around the 3rd percentile.) Healthy babies do come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, so if she's at the 3rd percentile, and is otherwise healthy and happy (especially if her parents are small), that's likely the size she is meant to be. And while most babies are eating a reasonable assortment of solids at 12 months, a few are still mostly or totally on breastmilk, and it usually isn't a problem. Or, it's possible that there are some developmental delays or feeding issues (which is not the same as being 'picky.')Do see the gastroenterologist, and talk to him about a referral to a feeding therapist if it seems appropriate. But in the meantime, keep breastfeeding often, and remind yourself that children don't starve themselves.EDIT: I should add that if she IS only 12 pounds, that is definitely cause for concern.)

How to Lose Weight with Chinese Herbs

Recommended Answer:

I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.
