Preemies

had a somewhat dissapointing appt. today

had to take DD to her pedi b/c for the last week she hasn't been eating very well. She's barely been drinking 20oz (needs 24-28) a day. well my fear was confirmed...she didn't gain but 2oz in just under 2 weeks. her pedi calmed me saying that in the big picture her weight is fine b/c she doubled her weight at 3months old and that's usually done by 4months old. she's in the 50% on the full term chart with her adjusted age so she's doing very average. now i have to figure out why she isn't eating b/c she's perfectly healthy! T&P's and any advice is welcome! 

basiclly she just snacks throughout the day..today was better she's already drank 17oz and has one more bottle before bed.

  • We struggled with the same thing when C was a baby. It was so so stressful. I hope she starts eating better for you soon mama!

  • My DD is now 5.5 months old and I find recently she's been snacking a lot. At first I thought it was a bug, but now I'm thinking maybe another growth spurt.
