Poor Hannah had a Dr's appt today
My Poor Hannah had her first round of shots today. she did really well though. she only cried for a few seconds with each needle (3 in total) Although she was probably tired out from crying throughout the rest of the appt lol. her appt was at 8:10 and she is normally asleep at that time so she was tired and grumpy.
I, However, was up all night dreading getting her shots done lol. I hate hearing my baby cry in pain. but we had a nice long nap together in the big bed when we got home and she is much happier now... Although i think she is a little sore where she got her shots. I will give her some Tylenol later.
Also, she has only gained a half a pound from her last appt a month ago. She is 9 lbs. The Dr said it is nothing to worry about just yet as it could just be the growth curve she is going to follow.... she may just be a little baby. she is in the 25th percentile in weight for her age.
But I am only concerned because she has been having some eating issues as of late. She has been VERY fussy on the breast. For a week straight she cut her eating time in half to ten minutes and was fussy most of that ten minutes so really she didn't even get a full ten minutes of eating. she has gotten better but still doesn't seem to be eating as much. during that week when she wasn't eating I actually started giving her some formula to supplement because she just wasn't eating. So now I have been giving her a bottle of formula before bed.... I breastfeed her as much as she will take and then I give her the rest in formula.... and she takes 4 oz of formula even after breastfeeding. But I KNOW she is getting milk from me. She just either doesn't like the taste or something is making her uncomfortable while she breastfeeds.... either way she is not getting as much as It hink she should be and even though the Dr is not concerned I am a little concerned about her lack of weight gain. She used to breastfeed for 40 minutes... then she cut that time in half to 20 minutes... then she cut that in half to 10 minutes. I have her back up to 20 minute feeds and I TRY to keep her going for 30 minutes but most of the time she won't eat past 20 minutes but if I give her a bottle she will mow it down.
her next appt is in two months for her next set of shots... but the Dr said I am more than welcome to make an appt sooner than that for a weight check if I want to.... so I will probably do that.
