He weighed in at sixteen pounds and four ounces at clinic on Thursday. What a whopper! The health visitor said it definitely looks like he has had another growth spurt because he has jumped up to in between the fiftieth and seventy-fifth centile lines on the growth chart for his corrected age.
He is going well with his weaning and is enjoying porridge in the morning and veggies in the afternoon. I have discussed a plan to increase what he is having with the health visitor. He's going to start on three meals next week then after that we'll introduce a bit of yogurt and then the week after try a bit of cheese and meats. He'll be on steak and chips come summer!
At the minute Freddie is also off the colief drops. He has been off them for a few days and seems to be doing OK. He was griping a little yesterday but not bad enough to start them up again. The health visitor has said that often babies that have been on colief for a while are OK for a short time when they come off but then they have to go back on them again so we'll just wait and see how Freddie gets on. We prefer him to not be on them mostly because it means his digestive system is stronger but also because they cost nearly twelve pounds for a tiny bottle that only lasts a couple of weeks and he has been on them for about four months! I calculate that at a cost of just under one hundred pounds just for colief drops! Its a good job he's cute! Ha.
Little flag wave moment here......Freddie actually slept through the night for the first time ever! Thursday night was the first time in six months both boys slept all the way through! Hurray. Its only a little flag wave though because last night Freddie had a full feed at one am. Maybe Thursday night was just a fluke but its progress!
No new Freddie pictures which I will remedy this weekend so I leave you with a picture of a rather mean looking pirate....
