Abbey's 4 Month Appointment

Just wanted to give everyone an update on Abbey...she is 4 months today and weighs 11 lbs. 2 oz. and is 23 3/4 inches long. That puts her in the 5th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. For those of you who don't know, I took her in about 10 days ago because I was worried she wasn't gaining weight and it turned out that I was right. She had actually lost 3 oz. from her last appointment (which had been 5 weeks prior to when I took her in). So the doctor told us that Abbey needed more calories (I wish a doctor would tell me to eat more calories!) and to start supplementing her with formula. After 10 days of a mixture of breastmilk and formula, she gained almost a pound! So, although she is only in the 5th percentile for weight right now, the doctor was happy with her growth. We are hoping to continue the trend so she can start to fit into her 3-6 month clothes (which is what all her winter clothes are!). Anyway, Abbey is doing great and is a very happy baby.
