A friend‘s daughter had a high level that was traced to the glaze on their antique clawfoot tub. It was concluded she was drinking a bit of water during bathtime. Tub replaced and level came down. Any antique bath fixtures in your house?

We like Biokleen, and have found both liquid and powder work well. Looks like the powder version is washing soda-based. Not sure about the liquid. Best of luck!

I had a very similar weight/height baby and very similar stress over the threat of FTT - I would dip her pieces of dry cereal in full-fat cream cheese and stand them like a little forest on her high chair tray...she would self-feed (fun for her!) and get more fat and calories than just dry cereal alone. Maybe your little guy would go for that? She is still tiny, and finally made it back onto the chart at age six.

Something like this happened to my daughter when she was about two - turned out to be a fairly common condition called transient synovitis. When I brought her into her pediatrician (which I also recommend you do), his first question was whether she had had a recent cold (she had). He was confident this was the cause and it would go away within a week. It did. Hope it's something as simple as this for your little one.

It's really important to pull everything out of the bag and let it dry as soon as they get home from practice. We set up the laundry drying rack with a box fan for a while, then went ahead bought the Rocket Dryer: http://www.hockeymonkey.com/rocket-sports-equipment-dryer.html We love it. It has a heater and blower at the bottom, and racks with hooks and clips at the top. Needs an outlet, but is not too noisy. Easy to use and REALLY prevents the stink from getting out of hand. That said, the drying rack/box fan setup worked pretty well - it was just less contained and somewhat louder than the Rocket dryer. When we wash, I put a little Biokleen Bac-Out in with the detergent and this seems to help, too. Good luck!
