Good evening Dr, God bless you for what you are doing here. My preterm baby with BW 1.7 and CW 6.6 at 15months immunization today. Am worried because he's weight has reduced as at 11 months he weighs 7.8.
We recently realized he is SS genotype.
What should I do to increase his weight?
He eat family food, pap and cereal.
How can I get my preterm baby to gain weight fast?

You should register the child at the Sickle cell clinic of any of the General or Teaching hospitals.
The child will be seeing the appropriate specialists who follow up children with Sickle cell anaemia.
The Sickle cell anaemia may be contributing to the failure to thrive.
It is not just about food.
