The Dr's hope he will outgrow them but its too early to say yet.
Dairy, Eggs Soy is very hard, at the moment it is meat, fruit, vegies, pasta, Rice. That's about it. I have had one attempt at making muffins and cupcakes using an egg replacer and rice milk, they turned out ok, I overcooked them a little but haven't tried again.
We are back to the Pediatrician tomorrow. My concern is calcium deficiency. While Jett is still taking the formula I think he is ok, but long term I am unsure. We went to a dietician who wasn't much help she said he is doing well, not underweight so nothing to worry about.
I am going to have a test run of Jett's birthday cake tomorrow night. I am planning to do a monkey cake (normal) holding a bunch of balloons which will be cupcakes suitable for Jett.
Thanks Suz. I have clicked the link it didn't give me any option to advise what username I want to request. When I click it, it goes to a blank page that says done. Is that all it does and they will contact me?
The cake sounds great! Can't wait to see pics on fb. I've decided to do the Echidna Ice Cream cake and the lolly photo frame cake out of the Women's Weekly kids birthday book.
Oh I was happy to wait to see the final product after the party But I think you can post a link to photo bucket or something similar here... Or, you can create an album in your BB profile and I think you can link to those too.
I have managed to upload a photo of the cake to my profile album if anyone wants to check it out.
Also we took Jett back to the Paediatrician yesterday and all seems ok. His head has dropped back to the 50 -75% percentile. His weight is 50% and Length is 25%. I have a little shorty. Considering he was off the chart when he was born I think he was measured incorrectly.
The only thing that has caused a little worry is in 3mths since our last appt Jett has only put on 1kg. We have to monitor his weight as this is a little concerning. The Dr has said it is ok as he is not underweight by anymeans.
We are getting Jett's allergies re-tested mid January.
My little munchkin is 10.4kg & 74cms.
Lani - Don't worry about Jett's weight, I'm sure he's perfectly normal. Remember the important thing is that he seems healthy and happy, you know yourself that he's fine I'm sure, and if you're worried you can always go back for a second opinion.
I'm sorry to hear about his allergies, it must make things tricky for you.
Taronga Zoo sounds great. I've been at DH to take me and Liam to Australia Zoo. One of these days.
Suz - Bye bye booby feeds. I can understand you must be sad, but it sounds like Ryan's ready to give the funbags away. Liam on the other hand SCREAMS when I try to offer him formula or cow's milk, and I'm really kinda getting over the BF'ing quite frankly. But on the other hand, I'm trying not to wish it away, it's such a short time isn't it.
Tilda - Thinking of you, how's the emotions?
AFUS - Crazy day at home today. The dishwasher's broken, and Liam's been following me around opening EVERY drawer and pulling everything out. I just know DH is going to get home and the place is going to like a bomb's gone off! Gah. I need a maid.
