Had a GI follow up today.
W: 20lb 15.5oz
H: 26"
That puts him up 1.25" in the last 6 weeks. (No wonder he was sleeping 15 hours a day for a couple of weeks there!)
Anyway.. she said the computer yelled at her about his weight gain, I guess to double check such a large jump. They all cooed over how good he looks, even made the other doctor come in and look at how fat he is. Then they laughed at his man-boobs. (or "moobs" as the NP put it. *LOL*)
She wasn't terrible concerned about the 1 month of crazy weight gain. I told her the home nutritionist gave us a lecture and she blew it off. She said yes, we wouldn't want it to continue, but that I was doing the right things with the way I was cutting his calories (the cow's milk, plus I cut half his morning feeding) She wants me to cut them just a little bit more (down to 90kcal/kilo) and keep him at that for 6 weeks then come back. If he's still gaining like crazy, she'll do 6 weeks at 75kcal/kilo. If he STILL gains too much, she'll do a metabolic work up, but for now, she's just considering it catch up weight gain.
He's at 10% on the actual age growth chart.. she'd like to see him stay there.
