Abby Update

Abby’s 4 month check up went very well. I told the doctor that she had a horrible experience with the shots last time so she said that she’d give this different option for a shot that’s multiple vaccines in one. Plus I gave Abby some Tylenol before the shots so she did much better, yay! She’s 26 1/2 inches long now – that puts her in the 100 percentile! And she’s 14 lb 9 oz (75 percentile).

I also asked the doc about the rice cereal. Before the appt I had tried a couple times giving Abby some rice cereal mixed with breastmilk (very runny) with a bottle. She wouldn’t take it, and apparently she doesn’t even take regular bottles anymore. She would take a bottle her first 3 months, now not at all! A/W, the doc said to keep trying, but a friend said to try giving it to her with a spoon. It worked – she made really funny faces, but it worked! I did two days, one feeding each day of cereal, and she had 1/2 – 1 oz each time. BUT, then it started messing with her schedule!! So I stopped giving her the cereal, but she still hasn’t gone back to normal with her schedule. It was like that all last week: she was barely eating, her napping was just everywhere, and she was more fussy than usual. She’s slowly getting better. It’s hard on me though because having her on a schedule made so I could actually get things done!
