GI Appointment

Page had a GI appointment this morning. She is doing great! Page continues to catch up with weight gain. She weighs 21lbs 13.5oz which brings her up to the 18th percentile! At the same time she continues to get taller which is why she looks skinny :) I forgot to ask her height but the doctor mentioned Page is at the 80th percentile. The GI doctor is very happy with Page's progress! He wanted her BMI (Body Mass Index) above the 5th percentile & she is at the 9th percentile. At this point we will continue with the current plan of 800-900 calories a day with 1-2 bottles of Pediasure & follow up in 4 months. He wants us to continue to monitor Page's weight but can do the weight checks anywhere. I believe we will stop with the supplements & stop seeing GI once Page's BMI is above the 25th percentile. We have a tall skinny little girl but she's happy & heathy so we are thankful! Happy New Year!!
