Eliza has had monthly weigh-ins because she has been growing in height in the normal pattern, but not in weight. She weighed 7lbs. 9oz. at birth but only weighed a whopping 10lbs. at 4 months, and was 25inches in height. So her ped. recommended cereal morning and evening, and see how she does. She's doing really good, and we've given her baby food and she hasn't had any problems with any of it. Today she went in for a weight check and she's now 11lbs. 9oz. and hasn't grown at all in height which I think will help in the weight department too. I don't understand why she's such a slow gainer, she eats well and is a happy baby. I'm glad that cereal and breastfeeding together is working for her. She likes both, and enjoys eating cereal. She's finally getting the whole eating thing down much better. And, Jonas and Maddie both enjoy feeding her too!
