My daughter is 8 months old and has not gained much weight at all since she was about 4 months. She has grown in length and head size, but just not weight. Our doc is sending her for all sorts of tests to rule things out. One of them being cf. I am so nervous. She has shown no other symptoms other than not putting on weight. No respiratory problems, normal poops. How worried should I be? No cases in the family and she is right where she should be in every other developmental aspect. She does A LOT of spitting up. Doc just gave me Pepcid for her and she also has some special powder to add to her food to help with the weight gain. I know there are so many other things out there that could be wrong (something as simple as acid reflux or high metabolism), but when you hear cf as a parent that just seems to ring in my ears.
