GREAT GI Appointment!!

The GI doc seemed very pleased with Hailey's progress today. She had a great weight gain since her last appointment (she's still 13lb 7oz but last time he saw her she was 11lb 13oz).

He says we can try to see if we can wean her off of the Nutramigen formula by slowly adding Soy formula and decreasing the Nutramigen. Also he wants us to start solids. Rice cereal and yellow veggies. We will try to wean with the soy first rather than try everything all at once so if she's having a reaction to something we will know what it is.

He upped her Raglen but said we don't have to if we feel she doesn't need it. If she's having random reflux flair ups we can use Mylanta and if that helps there may be no need to increase the Raglen.

A great thing he also mentioned is that he doesn't see this as being a big problem in the future and she should grow out of normally (usually by 1 year definitely by 18 months).

So hooray for a great appointment!
