Hey, K! Thanks for asking! We went yesterday and she weighed in at 16 lb 13 oz and was 27 inches long. She was up 4 oz from the previous Monday! I think that's partially because our appointment was later in the day though. She is now in the 30th%ile and the doctor is okay with it even though her growth has slowed. We're going to continue to keep an eye on things. I was sure they'd say something about supplementing with formula, but it wasn't even mentioned!
No other updates - just waiting to see what the pediatric dermatologist says about the lump on her back next week. The pediatrician we saw yesterday wasn't convinced that dermatology is the way to go, but we're starting there. She said if you sent patients directly to a surgeon first, they tend to end up with surgery, which is not what we want!
How are things going with M's sleep? Any better last night? Did I see somewhere that you're considering sleep training?
Great!!! Im so glad! I didn't know if you had ended up supplementing with formula or not? I'm so happy they were cool with her weight. Keep us posted about her back.
Yeah we are starting this weekend unless things magically get dramatically better. Ditching the sleep suit has been pure hell and she's up now 4-5 times a night. I believe she's freaked about her mobility now that she has no suit. We are at a loss.
Oh no! What kind of program are you going to use? We used Ferber several months ago and had a lot of success with it. It was heartbreaking at the time, but really improved her sleep (although she still got up in the MOTN for months after, but it was so much better).
As for V, I never ended up using formula. I got lots of good input here and just made an effort to cut back on her snacky type foods and incorporate more high fat foods. I also tried to make sure her nursing sessions were more productive. I'm still considering whether or not I want to wean her to formula before our trip in March though.
