At Bennett's last appointment, I was so upset that Bennett had only gained 4 ounces in 3 weeks. That was on the 31st. So, we started waking him at 11 p.m. to give him a dreamfeed to get in extra calories, and he started waking at 4:30 a.m. on his own for another feed. Previously, he was sleeping 7:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. (and oh it was heaven!). Well, the sleep deprivation has paid off!!!
Today, I took Bennett in for his monthly Synagis shot (which provides antibodies to help protect him from RSV), and he has gained 14 ounces in the last 14 days!!!!! That is nearly a whole pound! (1 lb = 16 oz). I'm THRILLED. Let's pray he keeps this up!!! He is now 8 mos, 1 week old/6 mos adjusted. He's still the size of an average three month old, but at least now we're seeing some movement on the scale!
