Please PM me. My ds is almost a year & has just barely doubled his birth weight. I don't think the (gastro) doctor he is seeing is helping at all & feel the need to take the next step on our own & am looking for info. Any advice or info is appreciated. TIA!
btw, I am in E"Y

I have lots of different experiences, the FTT child who ate and ate and didn't gain weight, the FTT child who nursed but wouldn't eat solids and the FTT kid who couldn't eat without getting food into their lungs.
#1 got a diagnosis and pills to help her digest and is B"H healthy now, no more pills even, #2 we gave her high fat, high calorie drinks and foods and she is B"H now a healthy kid on a regular diet, though a bit picky, #3 is still mostly tube fed.

Have they ruled out food allergies?
There is a great supplement called duocal. We give it to our FTT child, mixed in with his drinks.
We also fry as much of his food as possible in oil.
For a while, our baby was on cyproheptadine, which is an old-school antihistimine. It's safe for little ones and has the side effect that it makes them very hungry.
There doesn't seem to be one simple answer.

We couldn't get Duocal in Israel, nor could we get Periactin, which I think is the name brand for the appetite stimulant you are discussing. We used both for my oldest when we lived in the US, but neither are available here for OP unless things have changed over the last couple years.

Polycose is just refined medical sugar. Duocal is fat and carbohydrates together.

You can get duocal on amazon.com. I assume they ship to Israel.
