Jeter update 4/4/14

Yankees0623 · April 2014

25.75 inches
11 lbs 15.5 oz so a 1.5 oz gain since Monday.

The pedi is saying it's an immune system problem at this point because everything except his WBC is normal.

We hope to know more Wednesday at the allergy dr and he should be able to prescribe the elecare formula.

We are also starting solids (slowly due to possible allergies) and he'll see a dietician.

He's gained almost 5 inches since birth. O.o I have a giant skinny baby.

Great news on the weight gain! Just out of curiosity, aren't they concerned about starting him on solids given his high chance of allergies at this point? Wouldn't they want him to get on a formula and give that time to settle before starting him on something else? Or at this point are they just so concerned about getting him to gain the weight they want to get it on him any way they can?

Great job keeping on top of this. I can't imagine how difficult it has been for you.

Right now it's all about weight gain. But it's like start bananas for 3 weeks then applesauce for 3 weeks etc. we're staying away from cereal and I'm making his food to make sure nothing comes in contact with it.
