Walking is how she lost the weight. Most doctors don’t care as long as the child is growing longer. If she is on soy she is not getting enough fat and needs more fat (at 1 year she needs 50% of her calories from fat – olive oil, cream, butter, cheese, ice cream, salad dressing, whatever) so her brain can grow the way it should. Just make sure she gets her fat and vitamins and she will do fine by filling in the rest on her own (as long as the food is available). Oh, and feed her 5 times a day not 3, she needs more opportunities to eat.
Source(s): With two sons in their 2nd year they had to be fed 5 times a day, one son was not gaining and modified what I offered to what a toddler needs and et voila he grew and gained. Sons and daughter are all at the 50th percentile for weight despite being at the 90 to 97th percentile for height (doctor is okay with this, they are all legs and continue to get taller) so what I am doing works and doesn’t overfeed them.
