Omg sarah,oni is so adorable.She gets cuter and cuter everytime you post pics of her! And you look good girl!!!

Lol, and I thought trey was fat!! She's a doll!!

Oh man...You really think she's fat???? Her .Dr is gonna chew me out!! She eats 3-4 stage 2 jars of food per day and her formula 4 times a day. But she only drinks 3/4 ounces after she eats her food.

Her appt is on the 5th. She was 14lbs last time. I can only imagine how much she'll be this time!! She made 4 months on the 22nd, so hopfully she'll be in a good percentile!!

Sarah

woah shes 4 months and on stage 2 jars?! And eating 3-4 of them? I would be worried about my child becoming overweight. (not being mean)

Oh man... Don't tell me that!!!

Ok...This is what she eats: wake up time(7:30am): 1 6oz bottle
lunch time(11:00am) 1stage2 jar of veggies, 1stage1 fruit, and 3/4 oz of milk.
Mid day(3:00pm) 1stage2 jar of veggies, 1stage1 jar of fruit and 3/4 oz of milk.
Dinner(7pm): 1stage2 jar of meat, 1stage1 jar of fruit, 4oz bottle.
Night night time(10pm): 1 8oz bottle of formula mixed with 6baby spoons of oatmeal cereal.

This is the diet that her doctor put her on...So hopefully he won't sh*t a brick. He put her on solids at 5 weeks because formula alone was making her gain too much weight.

Jesus...I hope she's not overweight. I know they say chunky babies are cute...But if they're effin obese..That's not cute.

In comparison to other 4month olds I know, she's incredibly tiny!! I've seen one that looks like the michilin marshmello man!!!!!!!

Sarah

Don't worry about it. It does sound like a lot of food for a 4 month old though. Trey was 25lbs by 6 months, but he's tall too. I only started him on stage 2 foods at 5 1/2 months.

i dont understand...He said formula alone was making her gain too much-so he puts her on stage 2 foods??And not only that, 2-4 jars a day?!! Wow. Wouldnt that just make her gain even faster?
According to "what to expect the first year" and our ped., you should start rice cereal at about 4-5 months. You start other foods at 5- 6 months (6 months ideally, though I know not many people wait because they are too excited). For the first couple weeks you only give them a few bites a day-not jars!! Then you move on to 1 jar a day.

I know all docs are different-but I would look into a second opinion if I were you.

I hear what you're saying. I know that every doctor is different. He's just really .O.L.D .F.A.S.H.I.O.N.E.D!! Lol...I've talked to people about it and they look at me in horror!! But i've talked to their parents and they say "oh yea, I did the same thing!"

i don't think she's gonna die, she's in perfect health. She just has a
varied diet.

Let me guess...You don't give your baby water either. I give my child no less than 8oz of water per day. And I bet everyone's doctors totally disagree with that...But oh well. When you live in .New .Orleans with the heavy heat that we have. With the heat index peaking at 110degrees farenheight you'd give your babies water too.

I know this thread will prob start a huge ordeal because one baby's eating habits are totally different than anothers. I'm not trying to start drama...So if that's what this thread is gonna do, then let's end it.

Read your pm's girl!! (sarah)

To change the subject:

she's officially rolling over (she started 2 weeks ago.) last night she started playing with her feet and trying to eat them!!! She's growing up sooooo quick! I swear I just came home from the hospital last week!!

Sarah

Sarah, the heat index here was 118 the other day, heat sucks!!! Haha I hate being this hot! But then i'm sure i'll be complaining when it gets cold in the winter :p

dont worry about her being over weight...All babies look chubbie at that age...Jace is/was the same way...When jace started walking ...He started going down in weight...Because they get more exercise...She isnt overweight..So nothing to worry with..They usually grow into it...Once they get taller ...

I think chubbie babies are the cutest..Lol ..

Thanks for the positive reply jillian. It sucks to have to constantly defend your chubby baby!!

Jesus, I show other people my baby and they adore her...Here it's like woooaahh your baby's obese!
