Hey Katanya - try not to let it worry you too much about Felix's weight. If he is not sick, and sleeps well, then that is the most worrying things ruled out I guess. Maybe he is just waiting until 6 months to have his growth spurt. (but WOW at the 4cm in 6 weeks though!)
My cousins daughter Tahlia, who is two weeks older than Aidyn, has also been solely breastfed for the first 6 months. She has been on solids only for a couple of weeks now, and I saw Tahlia last week for the first time in 2 weeks, and it was amazing at the amount that she had grown, as well as putting rolls on. My cousin only really put Tahlia onto solids because the Dr suggested that it might help her to sleep better. She had been waking every couple of hours during the night, when a few months before she had been sleeping through!!
Anyway, I'm getting off track here, just thought I'd share that with you.
Anyway, I don't know if it was the solids that made her grow & fill out, or if it was the 6 month growth spurt, but either way I guess Felix is not too far off anyway?!
BTW girls, I know what you mean about them getting distracted when feeding... The only way I can get Aidyn to concentrate on drinking his bottles is to feed him lying propped on a pillow on the bed in my bedroom with the blinds shut, etc!! For some reason he gets more distracted when I hold him in my arms now...
Marcia - Aidyn first rolled over when he was 4 months. It was from tummy to back.
RE chewing on the teat... Aidyn only started doing that when he was teething, but I'm sure thats not the only reason that babies do it I guess!!
GRRRRR at your Auntie and Uncle, how frustrating for you to have to put up with!!
Kelly - My *fingers are crossed* that you can get into see a Dr soon and can get some answers.
I hope her appetite picks up again for her very soon.
I just have to say that I cannot believe how much of a difference those Infacol Wind Drops still make to Aidyns wind!! I thought he would stop needing them as he got older, so I wasn't too fussed when I ran out yesterday. But I was up 3 times with him lastnight due to wind, as I couldnt get a burp out of him after his feeds. So I bought some more this afternoon, and now he is burping again like clockwork!
Alrighty, thats it from me for now!! Hopefully the forums will be up and running again tomorrow night!! Although I will have graduated threads by then, LOL!
