Hungry, hungry hippo....

or baby should I say! Marleigh has been eating like crazy the last few days. I'm talking 5-6 ounces every 2.5-3 hours! It has been crazy. She has also been spitting more in the last week or two. It seems her reflux has been acting up. I thought they probably needed to up her dosage of Zantac since she's growing so fast. I made an appointment to take her to the doctor. 23 days ago, she weighed 8lbs 9oz. Well, today she weighed... 9lbs 12oz! No wonder she has been eating like crazy. She now gets .6ml twice a day instead of .4ml. Hopefully that will help.

The other big news... Marleigh had her first cereal today! The doctor told me to try some really, really diluted in her bottle. She said it would help with the reflux & maybe sleep a little longer. I questioned this because everything I've read said not to put it in a bottle, but the dr. insisted it was okay. Marleigh took it like a champ! She is now sleeping away! I'm hoping this will help her start sleeping longer at night. Last night she ate at 9:00 then was up at 12:00, 3:30, 6:45. I would just LOVE if it would help her to sleep 5 hours or so. I just can't believe she's on cereal already!

I was just thinking.... less than 3 months ago (April 8), Marleigh weighed 4lbs 13 oz. She has gained 5lbs in just 11 weeks! :) I've got some good pics of her too.... I'll try to get those uploaded sometime this weekend.
