#266: What do I do if my baby is losing weight after we start solid foods? Rosan Meyer, PhD, RD is a pediatric dietitian specializing in infant growth and development. We’re breaking down the case of a breastfeeding mom with a 9 month old baby who had weight loss between doctor’s appointments. Rosan analyzes milk intake, feeding schedule and other possible causes for weight loss in this episode.   Rosan Meyer was previously on the podcast in Episode 110 - Catch-Up Weight: Why Starting Solids Early Will Not Help Your Baby Gain Weight with Rosan Meyer, PhD, RD which I highly suggest also listening to if you have been told your smaller baby needs to “eat more food” for catch-up weight.
