Hi there
This is a bit of a long shot I know, but worth asking.
A bit of a background as it's been a while since I posted in here.
My triplets were born at 31+3. They have just turned 2 years old & we had a follow up visit with our paed today.
The smallest of our 3 has (untill now) been following along the 3rd centile) However she has lately steadily been falling of it. She will be 2 corrected on 12/10/07 & is 9.12kg so a fair bit below the 3rd centile now.
The Paed has prescribed Periactin tablets to help increase here appetite. I have been told the tablets may make her drowsey & so have to start of on a lower dose & work our way up to 3 x a day.
Has anyone else used periactin tablets? (or anything similar)
I am curious to hear other parents thoughts on using drugs to increase appetite. Does it work or is it a short term fix. Has anyone had success with it? Is there something else we should be trying first maybe that we can ask the paed about.
Any thoughts & info would be appreciated as I am a little nervous about the side effects yet on the other hand I am keen to get some weight on her before things get much worse.
