Scarlett is 4 months old! This has been a rough 4 months.... I HATE reflux. Poor Scarlett has really struggled. After the terrible weight gain she had, we followed up with her GI doctor. He was not happy with her growth or how fussy she was so he increased her calories more and ordered some lab work. He also thought she may have some allergy issues and changed her to a hypoallergenic formula for the added calories. There has been talk of trying a 2 week trial of formula only which I do not want to do, so I have gone dairy and soy free as well to help. All of Scarlett's lab tests came back normal which is a huge praise. The dairy free seems to be helping her symptoms some so we are continuing with that plan and we are going to try feeding therapy to help her increase her volumes hopefully and be more comfortable feeding.
Scarlett weighed in at 10 lbs 12 oz at her 4 month appointment. This puts her at 4% which we are very happy with considering she was almost off the growth chart a few weeks ago. She is so tiny compared to her peers. She is still wearing size 1 diapers and finally completely in 0-3 month clothes. She is rolling over now and babbling. She has discovered her feet... and they are amazing! She loves to grab them and hold on tight.She has some happy moments which we are so thankful for.
Scarlett is still not a good sleeper. She eats every 3-4 hours at night and every 2-3 hours during the day. As much as I would love to get some more sleep, I am so willing and happy to be up with her feeding if thats what she needs to grow!
