I noticed on this trip that some pants that used to fit Leo well were a bit looser in the waist so the following Tuesday I brought him in for a weight check. Luckily, he had not lost any weight, but he had only gained half an ounce (Now 13 lbs 10 ounces). On a hunch, I asked them to measure him to see if he had grown at all, and I was right, Leo put on an inch in one month. He is now 25.5 inches long!
Dr. LaCour decided the best plan of action was to put rice cereal in 3 of his 5 bottles each day to give him some more calories. Leo loves these bottles!! He also suggested that we try spoon feeding him rice cereal...this did not go over quite as well. I'm not sure if it's the taste or the texture, but something about it makes him grimace every time. We tried a couple of days with no success, so we will try again next week.
We go back to the Dr. for Leo's 4 month well baby check in about 2 weeks. Hopefully he will have put on some more weight by then!
