I took Allie to the doctor yesterday for her weight check. She now weighs 11 pounds, 7 ounces. Which means she gained 9 ounces in the past two weeks. That is just over a half ounce per day. Still on the low side of normal. The doctor said it's not bad but it's not good either and he would like to see her gaining closer to an ounce per day. Soooo,..... we get to go back in two weeks for another weight check.
We've had two days with no blood in her stool, which is great. It's also great that she's starting to sleep through the night. She doesn't do it every night but she's done it a few times now and I think it's a good sign. JD didn't sleep through the night (at all... ever) until he was 6 months old... only after we put him on Neocate formula and got his tummy straightened out. I'm so glad Allie doesn't seem to be in as much discomfort as JD was when we were battling blood in his stools! Anyway, if this keeps up and we go a while with no blood in her diapers then I'll be able to start gradually adding stuff back in to my diet! If it gets worse again then I'll have to limit my diet even further.... I'll post more about that if and when it has to happen. For now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she's getting better and will start gaining more weight!
