New developments this week...
- Has acquired the nickname "Fatty Boombahlatty" because she is at a whopping 9 pounds from her hospital discharge weight of 6lbs 13 oz!! lol ¡Que Gordita!
- Lily hadn't pooped for over a day so we got worried. Started reading online searching for what we could do to aid in her pooping. We tried a little rectal stimulation with a lubricated Q-tip and that shit came out like soft-serve! Pretty gross! But she felt SO much better, or at least we hope so! ¡Pobrecita!
- At our doctor visit she was diagnosed with GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) and was prescribed Zantac. We also have to add some rice cereal to her formula and prop her up when she sleeps to aid in the reflux. Doctor "yelled" at us because we were feeding her too much. She should be eating about 2 oz every two hours. We were feeding her 3-4 oz roughly every two hours. He gave us a lecture on the size of her stomach...yaddah, yaddah, yaddah...
- We also sneaked in a little bit of prune juice in her bottles sporadically (actually just twice so far) to see if that would help with moving things along. It's done the trick so far! This was another suggestion we found online.
This is Lily's first prescription!!
