Food aversion, or to be more precise, spoon aversion!! Feeding is a huge problem at the moment. G is extremely stubborn and will fight tooth and nail when it comes to being fed from a spoon. She was baby led weaning, but wanting to get more calories into her, I started making soups and dinners that she could share with us. Only she is refusing anything from a spoon. Back to melon, roast chicken and toast....
B is for .... Barium Swallow
On Monday we'll be taking G for her barium swallow test. In particular they will be checking the extent of her reflux, for signs of aspiration (liquid going down the 'wrong tubes' and to the lungs) and that her general upper GI anatomy is all correct and present. The worst part will be starving her before the x ray. Mind you with the little amount that she is taking food and milk wise at the moment, maybe that won't be such a problem.
C is for ...... Car
Yes, you guessed it, our evenings are once again being spent driving around to settle little moo. Not much more to say on this subject. Hmmmphh
D is for........Drooling
We may have some more toothy pegs to accompany the bottom two. Though we are hoping that they do not appear in the next week or so. Poor monkey has enough to contend with for now thank you very much!
E is for..... Ear infection
Again :( And it's swapped back to the original ear this time. So that's 3 infections in 7 weeks, no wonder she's been so unhappy and we've needed to resort to the A14. At least I managed to get her seen to today instead of spending a third weekend at the out of hours surgery. I might set up camp there soon!
The above aside, G has still had plenty of smiles and giggles for us. She had her 7-9 month check today, and apart from not being able to pull herself up or crawl yet, everything else development wise is perfect :) And she's put on some more beef! Just shy of 19lb now, which means the milk and food issues aren't affecting her weight gain for now. Now time to beat these ear infections once and for all!
