My skinny little runt who gained 300 grams in 6 months and dropped from the 60th percentile at a year to the 5th at a year and a half is now eating more and more!
I decided to try night weaning my son, because he is getting old enough, and i want to start the weaning process as i've pretty much dried up and so he doesnt get satisfied.
So the past 3 nights i did not nurse him at all between the hours of 7 and 7, (and he slept through the night from 9 to 8:30 on friday night!!! yay!!!) and if he wakes up, my husband puts him back to sleep...
And he has an appetite all of a sudden! Today he ate a TON of egg salad, a TON of potatoes, a TON of cucumbers, half a melon (!!!), lots and lots of fish, etc, etc...
I think weaning him is giving him an appetite! Yay!!!!
Maybe my skinny little runt will stop being quite so skinny now!!!
