If she starts to loose then I will worry. We get about a 1/2 to a pound a month. I think that is good for a child that never sits still. She even tosses and turns in her sleep. Thanks for all of the encouragement and reassurance. I am a worry wort at times.

I tend to agree with your thoughts - you know your daughter better than the doctor does. As long as she is putting on weight and is acting as a healthy, active, curious, learning toddler then you can't be doing too much wrong. I would go for a second opinion with another doctor before opting for the g tube. From what you have described of her, she'd probably not be too impressed and would want to yank it out and pull it apart to see how it works LOL!
