Lillian had a doctor's appointment to see how much weight she is gaining... unfortunately it is not much... she only gained a pound in a month. The doctor said average is 20-30 ounces and she only gained 18 so she is close but on the low end. We discussed in depth what I've been doing and made a plan for this month's eating. I will be contacting a lactation consultant again just to make sure that side of the eating is going as well as we can make it and to up her bottles to 2 times a day (she currently only gets 1 with a tiny bit of rice cereal in it). She also said to go ahead and give her one normal feeding of rice cereal a day (not in the bottle). This was our first attempt.... Lillian seemed to enjoy it and definitely wanted to help!
