My daughter hasn't been gaining weight. She is almost 13 months and she ways 14.7lbs. her GI nurse practitioner is going to put a feeding tube in her to see if this helps. What do you think.

I don't know. My son was born a month early .... came home on time but was tiny. He struggled in gaining weight and still at age 5 still is small. (35 lbs)
I believe he was probably around same weight as your daughter when he was that age. He didn't start walking til almost 2. He went to speech due to he was speaking and they gave me information about his weight a list of things to feed him so that he would gain weight. I would talk to a nutritionist before feeding tube!!! Let them tell you there thoughts on the matter as far as what you can give your child as far as allowing her to gain weight. (They do have drinks out there kinda like Milk that helps people gain weight!)
Not sure if this helps but I would try anything before the tube.
