going by her corrected age she is still in the early days of introducing solids so don't worry too much - does she like fingers foods and feeding herself - there are lots of BB info on solids in forums and main page.
My little guy Joel got his hip (pavlik) harness off today after 8 weeks and he was so happy he squealed happily all the way home in the car.The first 4 weeks it didn't come off at all even for baths (onyl sponge bath allowed) then it was 2-3 times a week just for bath.Due to being breech and premature his hips didn't develop properly but so happy they are on the mend.Need another xray/specialist review in March (should be Feb but no clinic then at kids hosp) so hope he does it himself an doesn't need a different brace the Dr said.
We had along wait today though (3hrs) with two xrays - because they didn't do it way Dr wanted the first time :mad: - my poor little guy being over radiated ... had chest xrays/mcu/two hip xrays and more to come.But did you know they cover his boybits with a little oval thingo I think it must protect them ?.
He also has urinary reflux (severe grade 4/5) which means long term antibiotics and a few more tests renal u/s (tomorrow) and a radioactive injection to check his kidney function (for scarring/damage) after he had a UTI.Hopefully no surgery at this stage and pray he grows out of it.
Twin Sam had a mcu (catheter & contrast dye into bladder)today to check he doesn't have it - didn't so we are so relieved -they check siblings to make sure as more common.
My other update is Joel has started to BF after 5 months -about twice a day still getting a routine feeding two of them rather than expessing.After 3 weeks almost in SCN with alternate ng tube/bottle (first 3 days only in NICU) he preferred teats to (.)
Both are growing well - Joel still smaller - have to take him to find his length now after 2 months of not knowing.
The other day we met up again with gorgeous Tiff, adorable Ivy (still had a smile though unwell) and spunky Noah - gee they have come a long way (I first met them IRL when not long home from hospital).They are just the cutest bubbas (next to mine of course).
Tiff -you should be so proud of your littlest blessings - infact all her lovely children do her proud.The little mini mums are the sweetest girls and a bundle of fun.
