Failure to thrive (FTT) and Weight Gain Strategies:
Have you been told your child is underweight or FTT? Are you struggling to feed your child? Are you worried about providing nutrition to promote weight gain? FTT and difficulties gaining weight effects many young children and infants. It results from either an organic cause (a known health condition) or an inorganic cause (no known health condition).
Some children experience increased energy expenditure and/or decreased energy intake, which results in poor weight gain and growth. NutriKidz will help to monitor your child's nutrition, growth, weight gain, and provide you with strategies to promote catch up growth and weight gain.
