When we took Grace to the pediatrician the other day, she only weighed 13 pounds, 14 ounces. We are pretty sure that she had already gained at least a little bit of weight since we picked her up from Layla.
She has still been maintaining the same schedule at night, waking up every four hours. The days have been kind of crazy though. She never lets more than three hours pass between feedings, and often only one or two. She used to take four ounce bottles and leave a little behind. Now, she takes anywhere from four to eight ounces, and don't forget the increased frequency!
Will stood on the scale with her today and discovered that she weighs at least 14.5 pounds. Our scale doesn't get any more exact than that, so it could be a little more. Wow! The on-demand feeding can be a little challenging, but seeing such good results is very encouraging. I'm looking forward to seeing what the scale says at the doctor's office on May 3 when we go in for her physical. Ü
Blaine,
ReplyDeletePlease remember bottle fed babies are different then breast fed babies. They need more to fill them up. She is definitely old enough for 8 ounces and baby food. She is a growing little girl. Feed her as much as she wants!!
Glad to hear she is doing well and gaining weight. She looks pretty healthy to me.
Take care
Danette
Looks like Grace landed right in the middle of a very loving family. Congratulations and enjoy your newest blessing.
