Well, after Mel's fever, teething, and ear infection, she has been refusing formula for a few days. She got sick last week as noted in the last post - and continued through the weekend - once on Friday night and once (which should really count for four times) on Sunday. Poor peanut. But she seems to be fine otherwise - other than not wanting ANYTHING to do with formula.
-
She has been very cuddly and thumb-sucky, but also pretty active and very happy otherwise. We started her on Pedialyte on Sunday, and got a few ounces down her that way - and then finally overnight she had about 7 oz of formula. I'm hoping this continues throughout the day today and on. She hasn't had her bedtime bottle in several nights - and the doctor, despite frequent calls, doesn't seem to be worried. It's one thing if she's not eating formula and making up for it elsewhere, but that's not the case. She's eating okay, but not more than normal. We're also continuing with our quest to have her eat table food - but it's a long journey. She had a chicken nugget on Saturday night, a pancake on Sunday.....and got way more on the floor than in her mouth! Practice makes perfect, though!!

I will note that Mel's pediatrician is still out on leave, so I'm concerned that no one is taking me very seriously. Grandma Doan took Mel in this morning for the second part of her flu shot - so hopefully they'll start listening.

Edited to add - Grandma & Melanie just left the doctor's office. Mel is down to 14lbs, 15oz due to her hunger strike. Still as happy as can be though - and no crying for the shot!
