Please Eat More Baby

Rate this Entry
My little girl is just the sweetest baby ever ... she has an adorable disposition and has been really healthy *knock on wood* but Man, I wish she would eat more. For the first time I weighed her and she went down in weight. She is often the same and only goes up very, very slowly, but this time she lost=(! We have never been on the growth curve, not even close, and not even for her adjusted age. However, we have also never had a tube since we were discharged. I want to keep it that way and I always hold my breath for the time that my ped expresses concern that we have to do something else. I am trying so hard! I offer her food whenever possible, but she just doesn't eat a lot of volume. She uses that "all done" sign on me way too fast (don't worry, I don't always listen to it and still try to push her a little, without pushing her too much, to try a little more or eat something different). I am going to research today for more high calorie foods I can try. Mac and cheese is a hit, but it also constipates her so I need to not have to give it to her 2x a day. We have also tried cream soups with some success, but she just doesn't take a lot. I want her to stay healthy and keep growing. Ugh!!! I am so grateful she is here and doing so well ..... but EAT BABY EAT!!!!!
