Tuesday, we had a follow up appointment to Andrew’s four month check-up. As we stated before, his weight growth had digressed from his two to four month check-ups, 20% to 1% respectively. She gave us a few suggestions on feedings and asked that we come back in three weeks.
I know the Doctor is just doing their job, but it was a little silly to me. Besides being a “Skinny Minny”, Andrew is developing well. He is right on track… laughing, rolling, eating cereal, etc.
At the appointment, the Doctor was pleased to see that Andrew had gained a pound. He is now 12 lbs, 12 oz. As a result, this shows him steadily increasing his weight and back on track. She gave us the go to feed him rice cereal (we cheated and already gave him some), and then baby food. Keeping in mind not to introduce a food no earlier than four days to rule out any allergies he might have.
Ha Ha Ha! I just re-read the last paragraph and it sounds like you should stay tuned for pictures of the "packages", but I meant pictures of Andrew eating Green Beans. Ha Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm sending some food and diapers your way!
ReplyDeleteGreen Beans, why green beans...come on everybody knows bananas are the ideal thing for the baby's first food. Don't "monkey" around! Get the kid some bananas!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are trying to get the kid hooked on vegies so he loves them before he gets the sweet tasting foods. Ok, smart idea! I'll get him some bananas for when he's here next week! Love, Mimi
that's right Andrew...eat the Tigger!!
