Eating and Bouncing

Paige has rebounded from a rough week rather well. When I began to wean her from her reflux medicine things went down hill quickly and we had a return of the screaming feeding sessions. Guess she needs the meds more than I originally thought. After a talk with her GI (I'm glad they have a great nurses line!) it turns out her recent weight gain means she actually needs a larger dose of medicine. After four days of the new dose we're back in the swing of things.

In other news, Paige continues to enjoy solid foods. She LOVES peas and just yesterday ate her first Mum-Mum (a rice husk snack--after a few trips to the mouth it turns into a soggy cracker). This afternoon we're going to break out the mesh treat holder and try some real banana.


I'm also SUPER excited to announce that we've temporarily inherited a Bjorn bouncy seat from Caroline!! While Paige enjoyed her previous bouncy seat, she couldn't sit as up right as she liked. Recently she was becoming fussy after short spurts of sitting in it; perhaps it was irritating her stomach to sit in a crunched position? Who knows. Caroline found her Bjorn bouncer at a consignment sale and I've coveted it for some time--I just couldn't bring myself to spend $$$ on getting a new one of our own. After two failed attempts to procure one through both Craigslist and eBay, Caroline called on Thursday to say she no longer needed hers. Paige is in heaven. She's been happily sitting and bouncing away for two days now. Caroline, you're a life saver!
