GP/Doctor's Visit

Today we took LG in to the GP to ask about her weight and the state of her GERD. They weighed her, and she is now at 14 pounds and 13 ounces. Although we didn't actually get to talk to a doctor, we did get to speak to the Health Visitor. This is a specific type of nurse who looks after children. The Health Visitor is a very nice lady, who I really like and trust. She was not severely concerned about LG's slow weight gain because she continues to gain weight. She did say that she wanted LG to start eating solids TOMORROW! I kind of anticipated that this is what she would say, so yesterday I went ahead and bought her some rice cereal and some carrots and parsnips to steam and puree.

When it comes to LG's GERD difficulties, her medicine has stopped working. The Health Visitor said to go ahead and stop giving it to her because solid food should start helping that problem anyway.

We will not start solids tomorrow because LG and I will be in town with some friends at a park during lunch, but Thursday we will give it a go (as they say here)!
