What Causes Low Weight And Pale Stool?
My daughter is 15 months old. Her birth weight was 3 KG but she has not gained much weight till now and she is weighing only 7.5 KG. She is very active. CBP, urine test and thyroid test were done but nothing found. Last week she had passed nearly pale to white colored stools for 3 days and then normal to yellow. We had checked with pediatrician regarding this but he said nothing to worry. But Iam worried about her health. What could be the problem with her?

Hi, thanks for your query in HCM. I can understand your concern related to your daughter's health.
Ideal weight at the age of 1 yr of a child should be thrice of her birth weight. Though your daughter's weight is on the lower side, you need not worry if she is active, reaching her developmental milestones according to her age , wetting enough diapers per day.
And when all the blood reports are normal, it is better to focus on her diet. Introduce weight gaining high calorie nutritious food on her diet. If she is already eating well, do not worry for the weight as disease free body is more important than over weight body.
Take care.
