So far so good.
She is taking her bottles better so I am thinking we are at the tail end of this cycle and we should be good for a little while. She is only having about 4.5 oz. per bottle so far, but she is happy and not crying after 1-2oz. I really don't care how much or how little she takes in so long as she is happy and getting enough to sustain her. She had 2 tbsp of Apples and Bananas for breakfast and when she wakes up I will see if she wants some carrots for lunch. She is really not a big eater even though she is a chubby baby. :-) I was looking at the feeding guide (5-7 mths) we got from the Nurses and there is no way I can feed her as much as it says on the chart. I can not imagine giving her 3-4 tbsp of cereal twice/day as well as 2 meals (one meal = 2 tbsp) of fruit and two meals of veggies. PLUS DRINK 25-36 oz. in one day. What kind of kid are they talking about?? There are not enough hours in the day to accommodate this. hahaha. She is getting 2 tbsp of cereal, 2 tbsp of a fruit, 2 tbsp of a veggie and drinking 26-28 oz/day at her most hungry. I guess they have to be very vague and every kid is different, but WOW. I guess she will work up to that eventually but that seems incredible to me when I look at her little belly.
I took her for a walk in the snugli this morning and brought the stroller along in case she wanted to change to that half way through. Thank God I brought that for my sake. WOW, carrying her around is a lot of work. She could have stayed in there the whole walk I am sure but I would have died. She loved looking at her reflection in some vehicles on our route. She was squealing and kicking the entire time and she crashed for the latter half in her stroller. Looks like I got home just in time as there is quite the storm brewing. It was a nice walk and she really benefits from fresh air....so do I.
