Allan turned 4 months old yesterday! He went to have his 4 month check up and get 4 shots-2 in each thigh. That wasn’t the worst part of the visit. Allan’s not putting on enough weight. Right now he only weighs 9 pounds and 11 ounces. He should be around 13 pounds. They think that they weighed him wrong at his last visit. They thought he was 11 pounds then, but now they are saying no way. He couldn’t have gained 4 pounds and then lost it all. But the doctor does think he may have lost 1 pound between last visit and yesterday. So now for a weeks he’s gonna get supplements of formula with his breast milk to see if that will put some pounds on him. Other than that, he’s perfect! He’s super long – 24¼ . The doctor’s not too worried. He thinks Allan might just be a little guy with a really fast metabolism. (That’s how his daddy was) Hopefully my little dude puts on some ounces this week. If he doesn’t or if he loses, then the doctor is gonna want to do some lab work to make sure all is ok with him. My bet is he’s fine. I think he just has his daddy’s fast metabolism…something us girls pray for and don’t get.
