Went to Skyler's appointment on Thursday and she has gained a pound in 3 weeks. YEAH!! We did it. The Prevacid has been working great and she is nursing normal now and getting full. We also started our first solid food on Friday. Now they say to start with yellow vegetables(squash,sweet potatoes) intead of rice cereal and then start rice. I gave her sweet potatoes first and she loved it! She was definently ready for solids. She kept grabbing the spoon and forcing it in her mouth begging for more. The only thing I cannot get her to take is formula. I have tried numerous times and many different kinds. She just does not like the taste. I want to start trying to wean her but I do not think she is going to allow me too. She is a stubborn kid and likes what she likes:) I will try again today to do the formula half and half and see how that goes. She got some rice cereal this morning and I tried mixing it with formula and she outright refused it spitting it out.Then mixed it with breastmilk and she ate it. What a stinker.
Addison refused formula until she was almost ten months old! Someone suggested the Similac Soy formula liquid since it is sweeter and she did drink it! Enfamil just came out with a Vanilla flavored formula that smells like cupcakes and she LOVES that now but it is for 12-36 months but at least there is hope! She is a cutie and glad she is feeling better! Good luck with formula!
