On July 4th, Lane hit the four month mark.
As few things about Lane - She is babbling up a storm and loves to talk to anyone that will talk back or listen to her. I love hearing her "talk"! She is teething a good bit and our pediatrician thinks that any day now, her two bottom teeth will be in. If so, it will be a shock to me because Dutch didn't get a single tooth until 7 months or so. She now rolls over from front to back and smiles and laughs often. We thought we were over the waking in the night to eat, but ever since my Florida trip (where DJ watched them - what did he do to my sleeping baby?), she wakes up at 3:30am to have a bottle. She is now eating 6 oz. every three hours. The only time she stretches her feedings is from 8pm-3:30am. I know what you all are thinking - "just keep her up later or feed her again around 11pm" - trust me, we have tried it all and no matter what time she eats or how much or how often, she is still up at 3:30am. We have tried rice cereal, but I am not sure her stomach is ready for that just yet. As I have mentioned before, we struggle with acid reflux and milk allergy, so the rice has not been the easiest for her to digest. My pediatrician recommended that we try oatmeal, so we tried that last night. We'll find out today, as it processes, if it works for her. Hopefully if it does, it will allow her to stretch her feedings at night.
Also, because we haven't seen a complete change in her reflux, the doctor has recommended that we change her formula to the Similac version of Nutramigen since some babies do better with certain brands. He also switched us back to Zantac, but a higher dose.
