2.75 kegs at birth n 16kgs right now. Yes stool is oily . Milestones were achieved before time, except speech. She is still unclear in speaking. No change in hair or skin. Yes 3-4times she had very serious dehydration and that time dr again stopped milk but as she is just a child I did gave her milk once daily. At times passes stool 12-13 times but on normal days 2-3 times. I have no idea of worms
Brief Answer:
Your child is doing very well - please do not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi... your child is doing excellently well. I have checked her weight against her birth weight and current age - she is doing very well. Any XXXXXXX child should be weighing between 12 to 13 kilos at 2 and half years of age. Where as your child is currently 16 kilos which seems to be on the higher side. If she had any problems in digestion, then she would have been failing to thrive or would have been underweight. So I suggest that you need not worry about your kid having a digestive problem.
When the kid's weight is normal and motor development is normal, oily stools need not be worried about.
