So, Hailey weaned herself from the bottle about 3 weeks ago much (MUCH) to my dismay. I was so worried that off of the bottle there would be no way she could consume enough calories to keep gaining. She’s not by any means at a low weight but I still worry – like we all do. She pretty much maintains somewhere between the 25-50%. She does gain in spurts though and seems to go months without gaining a thing. Since she got off of the bottle, she has gained almost an entire pound! I can’t believe how much her appetite has increased since she’s off of it. She has really replaced her bottle calories with food and then some. She’s not drinking much milk yet, although she’s at least drinking some and that is quite an improvement. She is drinking 3-4 drinkable yogurts per day (3 oz each) and that makes me happy. I’m very happy with the whole situation and thankful that for once something could be easy for us!
