We had our one month visit today at 4 weeks and 5 days old. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but she had a horrible few days and we really needed to talk to the doctor. She's not sleeping well, and she started screaming bloody murder during feedings. We were pretty sure she had gas and reflux. They told us to switch her to soy formula when we called, so we ran out and got that and a rock n play and started her on it right away. So far she hasn't screamed while feeding her, and she's been much less fussy. I really hope this helps because I actually sat there crying while feeding her when she was crying. She's normally such a happy baby and I hate to see her uncomfortable. I'm hoping that the formula and sleeping more vertical in the rock n play will help her to feel better and sleep longer.
They did say she's definitely absorbing what she eats because she has gained 2lb 3.5oz since we saw them 3 weeks ago!! She weighs 8lb 3.5oz, and she's in 0-3 sleepers now because she's too long for newborns at 20.5 inches (1.5 inches more than she was last time!). She's getting higher on the charts and that's awesome. They also said she was definitely very strong, which I could tell because she lifts her had up so well, and puts weight on her legs already. My baby is growing up so fast it's ridiculous.
