Do i need to be concerned?

Her age is 22 months!

Do i need to be concerned with my daughters weight still? She has a feeding tube that we try to feed her at night with, but it seems if we try to feed her much she wants to vomit and doesn't sleep well. She does eat by mouth but is very picky about what is! We have had tons of test ran, but nothing has really shown up. Any suggestions?

Her weight is just above the 5th percentile and her height is on the 75th percentile for her age. Her weight is on the growth chart which is good. As long as she is growing steadily, even if it is slowly, she will be fine. You did not state the type of tube-feed you are using. Suggest 1.5 or 2 calorie per ml formula so that she is getting more calories and protein with less volume. Hoped that helped you.
