What are you feeding her?


1 April 2008 9 lbs 7 oz & 23 in
28 April 2008 12 lbs 15 oz & 24 in
If you don't want to do the math, that is 3.5 lbs & 1 inch in one month. That is a 37% weight gain. She finally made it to the 3% mark on the US Growth Charts for height and weight. In answer to the title question, she has been drinking massive amounts of formula - up to 44 oz in one day. We've been making it a little "thick" - meaning adding an extra teaspoon of formula for every ounce. (Or we did until we found out how big she was on Monday.) We did this when B was a preemie, but never with such incredible results. We also started rice cereal, once we figured out that she will only eat with a metal teaspoon, not the little plastic spoons we used for B.
