Poor weight gains.... again

This weeks weight gain was very poor. It was only 80g. Last weeks was much better, at 210g. So, we're now at 6.88kg. That's still in the bottom 3 percent for babies. *sigh*
It could be worse. It could easily have been a negative gain (that is, a loss).

Update on the elimination diet...

We've almost finished week 3.
Margaret has finally started liking rice, potatoes, and pears.
Next week, we introduce sweet potato, and go back to the dietitian.
Here's the problem, though.
She's now losing weight. 40g in a week, to be precise.
:/
I think I need to push the paeditrician to sort something out. More tests or something.
Oh. And vomiting weekly, and fevers with it.
I'll try and touch base again on Friday.

The elimination diet starts tomorrow.
I'm ringing the dietitian this afternoon to let her know, and to confirm the start date, foods, etc.
My understanding is 3 weeks of rice, potatoes and pears (and EleCare formula) before introducing the next food (sweet potato).
We do know its not a gluten intolerance, btw. The blood preindicators for coeliacs came back at less than 1, and the positive results are greater than 7. That's vaguely reassuring, though an easy(er) answer would have been nice. :/
I'll keep you updated.

Second guessing point

I'm at second guessing point.
See, I had Margaret at pathology today.
She had a sweat chloride test and bloods done. I also had to give them 2 fecal samples, and apparently, 24 hours worth of urine tests. They can be happy with one urine sample (which I'll be giving them tomorrow), and the second fecal sample is still to be delivered.
Anyways, crux of the story.
She screamed blue murder when they were doing the blood test. I felt so guilty for pushing them, now.
And now, I'm asking myself is there anything I could have done differently?
What if I hadn't worked up until 37 weeks?
What if I hadn't worked in a pub?
What if...? (getting the idea?)

*sigh*

Margaret has been referred to a paediatrician

Earliest the paed has any openings is February.
Something needs to be done about rural health in AU.

I took Margaret back to the GP today. She's had a bit of a cough and vomit thing again.
She's still weighing in too small (still less than 6 kg, and she's nearly 9 months old :/ )
I've got a referral for bloods, urine and stool samples, and they want to do a pertussis swab. Its not likely to be pertussis (she's been immunised), but still... better safe than sorry, I guess.
I've also got a referral for a paediatrician. This paed is connected to an immunologist, speech therapist, and dietitian, and even better, is totally covered by medicare.
I'll keep you updated.
