Couldn't say: You should take her for a physical and an evaluation. Tired and not gaining weight are vague symptoms with a LOT of possibilities.

My daughter is 13 months, and she was born prematurely. To date, we are struggling to keep her weight up as she does not eat solids very well and she refuses the bottle. She is not underweight, but not where she should be. Any recommendations?
