at 1 year and 10 months...
Possum now weighs...
10kg!!!
What a long time coming that has been! We had a review with the paediatrician this past week and he was satisfied that Possum is finally putting on some weight even though it's very slow. We now have a green light to start some dairy and gluten food trials again.
We also had a review with our feeding team which consists of a speech therapist, occupational therapist, dietician and physiotherapist. They were all VERY impressed with his progress. He is biting and chewing his foods better. He is not as scared of foods as he was. He is more willing to try things even if he spits them out. They were satisfied to the point of saying they now feel his food preferences reflect a more normal fussy toddler than a child with feeding issues and they don't see a need to see us again. He's also drinking plenty of water both from a straw and a sippy cup, this was another of his issues.
All the hard work is paying off!
He's such a happy boy. I had to share these photo's taken today :)
