My daughter just took a full bottle - her second in a row. Then she fell asleep in my arms. Feels good . (lemmy.world)

Year and a half old. It may feel silly, but she's always been in the single-digit percentile, usually low-single-digits at that. She was born about 3 months premature, and after her weight gain stalling, they prescribed a medication with a side effect of increased appetite to give things a jump start. I think it's going to work 🙂

I don't have kids, but I went through a year of my pup not eating enough in the evening and vomiting in the morning several times a week.
That was worrysome, and she didn't come out of me.

You must feel pretty great.

And be proud of yourself for advocating for your child's health like that. This is a pattern you're setting your child up for that helps them both medically and in terms of their self-worth.
