WHY? OH WHY???

This is my sweet baby son! I've mentioned him before a few times on here. He has my totally baffled!! Let me explain...He nurses at about 7:30 every morning, then eats breakfast with the kids at 8:30, usually a pancake or waffle sometimes cereal and a cup of whole milk. Then he eats lunch...a cup of whole milk, a WHOLE banana, a string cheese, 2-3 chicken nuggets or mini corn dogs, sometimes a 1/2 a jelly sandwich and lately a couple slices of a cutie. Then dinner...he usually has a kid-size serving of what we are eating as long as its not too seasoned. If it is he eats some fruit, a cup of cooked carrots, a piece of bread, some cooked chicken and a cup of milk. Usually he clears his tray!! Of course he naps & plays in between meals, he isn't a constant eater. And then he goes to bed with a bottle of milk, which he drinks before he goes to sleep and then I nurse him again between 10:30 and 11:30. He sounds like a big eater right?? Then tell me why...WHY OH WHY DOES HE ONLY WEIGH 15 LBS!!! My baby son is 1 year old & ONLY 15 lbs 1/2 oz!!! I'm beginning to think the dr.'s scale was wrong...that happens right?!?

He is so adorable! I am having that same problem with Tyler. He will be 7 in February and only weighs 39 pounds! I keep shoving food at him but he isn't gaining! If you find something that works let me know!

I feel your pain too. Ryan is 10 and weighs about 55 lbs. Carter is 7 and weighs about 45 lbs. Good luck.
