Hi, my 7 month old has been dropping weight dramatically. I'm so worried.
He has a milk protein allergy so has never had much milk, but since starting solids would usually drink about 500ml a day of soy milk and have 3 meals. 2 weeks ago he started teething, his first tooth has come through now, but he is only drinking about 200ml of milk now! I probably get 100ml of water in too.
I called the doctor and he said it was nothing to worry about and to give paracetamol and as long as he isn't dehydrated then just keep persevering.
But he has dropped about .6 of a kilo in a week and about 1 kilo total over 2.5 weeks.
Is this something I should be really worried about?
