I took Bay to see Dr. Tindle today. She said it is viral & basically said there is nothing else to do besides giving her 1ml of Yellow Triaminic. BUT she gave her the 1st flu shot BECAUSE BAYLEY IS SIX MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOO HOOOOO We are SOOOOO excited and relieved! Six months and no MAJOR colds or illnesses…six months on nothing but breast milk…six months and growing very consistently! The nurse messed up and weighed Bay with her clothes on and she weighed 12 lb 4 oz. Dr. Tindle bout stroked out because she said NO preemies should be weighed with their clothes on because it isn’t accurate. We were already strapped in her carseat so she didn’t make us go through undressing since she will be back on Tuesday for her RSV shot. She didn’t plot her growth because she didn’t consider it valid because of the clothes. She guessed that she probably weighs upper 11 lbs or at the most 12 lbs even. Now for the exciting news…BAYLEY HAD RICE CEREAL FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TODAY!!! She seemed to like it ok but we didn’t get very far into the bowl before she was gagging (probably 10-15 spoon fulls). I read where that is pretty common with preemies. Also she pushed every spoon full I gave her right back out of her mouth with her tongue. Im not sure if that is a preemie thing or just a baby thing and its been a few years since I have spoon fed a baby so any of you moms out there with any knowledge about this please share!!! She got 1 tbsp of rice cereal mixed with 4 tbsp of breast milk which is what the box said and what Dr. Tindle advised for the first feeding..now my next question for you recently experienced moms is how quick did you advance into thicker cereal or more cereal. Ok I think that is all the questions I have for now but I will keep you posted!
