My 9 mo. old grand daughter at her 9 mo. check up - has only gained 1 oz. and 1/4″ in three months. Birth wt. 7′ 15″ (12/7/07) 21″ long.
She has been growing super well up until now - Pediatrician recommends supplementing breastfeeding (supply has been diminishing perhaps due to a new birth control pill) and solids with 4 oz, formula from sippy cup three times a day. Developmentally, baby doing great - walks around furniture - has taken four steps on her own - says four words with meaning - Hemoglobin was 11.5 - My daughter is afraid supplementing formula will cause baby to nurse less (be less hungry at nursing times). She also has been waking very often during the night - don’t know if this is separation anxiety - sometimes mom can get her back to sleep by patting her (the Baby Whisper method). Mom gave baby avocado, ground chicken breast and ground potato yesterday 9/9/08 to see if higher protein/caloric foods will help her gain weight. Any comments or suggestions on the formula supplementation or other suggestions?
