My daughter is 11 months old and was 4lbs at birth. I took her to the doctor for her shots last week and they said that they were really worried about her weight and if she did not gain more in the next 6 weeks they were going to have to do something about it, possibly fortify her formula. she is on nutramagine (sp). she does not like any food and i can hardly get her to eat anything but baby cans of sweet potatoes and maby pears. i need help on finding something to try and help, any ideas? please!!! can i give her pedisure or something with extra calories? thanks ashley

Why was your daughter put on Nutramigen formula as an infant? Does she have allergies? Reason I am asking is because I do not know if she will tolerant Pedisure. Since she is approaching 1 years old, suggest trying soft regular finger table food. Maybe she would accept regular finger foods then baby food.
