Mia's 4 month check up

Mia went to the doctor on Tuesday for her 4 month check up. She was perfect....of course. She is up to 13 lb 4 oz and has grown 2 inches in length. She is also right on track with all of her developmental milestones. Her reflux is controlled on her current medication and she is growing well, so we have the green light to start changing things around a little. She was put on Enfamil Alimentum (hypoallergenic) formula at 5 weeks old because they suspected a milk allergy. This stuff is SUPPER expensive. We are going to try to add back in breast milk (for the immunity factor) that has been stored in our freezer. If she does well on that for a week or two, then we get to try to switch her to Soy formula. IT IS SOOOO MUCH CHEAPER to do SOY....I HOPE IT WORKS. We also get to start cereal soon!!!! We have to get the formula issue worked out first but then we get to start cereal, then veggies, then fruits....It will take a little while but YEAH SOLIDS! Maybe she will start sleeping all the way through the night. Don't get me wrong 4-5 hour stretches are great and we have been pretty blessed in the sleep department for the most part, but an 7-8 hour night would be like heaven. We will be trying the first step in our changes this weekend. We are going to try to add some breast milk to her formula. I hope she tolerates it. I would really like for her to have the extra immunity during the winter months. If not, well, we tried. We are keeping our fingers crossed that all goes well. :)
