So for the past couple of weeks Allison has been throwing (spitting) up more than normal. I know it's normal for babies to spit up, but Allison's has been REALLY bad! Like, we feed her 4 oz, and she spits up 1-2... I feel like I wear more of her formula than she eats! So we made an appointment to talk to the Dr, just to make sure that nothing horrible was going on... you know how paranoid a mother can get! Well, the doctor said that she is perfectly normal, that all babies throw up and it's only going to get worse as she gets older (like between 4-6 months)! She did get weighed and she is now 13.4 lbs, which the doctor was concerned that she was gaining too much weight! So we went from not gaining enough when she was just born to gaining too much weight! The doctor switched her formula to the anti-spit-up stuff and told us to cut back on her feedings... Instead of 4 oz every 3-4 hours we are feeding 3 oz every 2 1/2- 3 hours. Day 1 Allison seems to like being on a schedule and Chris has his watch set, so no matter what, she is getting fed! She has also slowed down on the spit-up... only 2 times so far! Hopefully this will save me some outfits and help Allison keep her food down! We go back to the doctor on Feb 7 for her 4 month shots so we'll see how she's doing then!
(No pictures this time, but look to the previous post... There are LOTS there!!!)
