I can’t believe my baby is out of the fourth trimester (per Dr. Karp and Happiest Baby!) Annaliese is such a sweet and loving baby. She loves to be cuddled all of the time but I think most breastfed babies do. Annaliese had her four month checkup today. Of course her Mommy went into the office with a list a mile long of questions. Our main question was about her bowel movement issue. For the last couple of weeks she has been going several days without a BM. I had talked to the doctor once about it before over the phone. The doctor today said everything is fine and that often times babies bowel patterns change around this time. We are now going to be able to give 1 ounce of prune juice twice a day to help her with this problem. We also talked to the doctor about her vitamins. She seems to gag when she gets them and still has a strong tongue thrusting reflex when I put the dropper in her mouth. The doctor said to just continue the vitamins the best we can and that she probably dislikes the taste of them as they have a horrible smell. Annaliese was more vocal today as she got her shots. Her cry seems louder and sadder than last time. Daddy held on tight to her again as she quickly got each one. Then we nursed and had Tylenol and she went to sleep by the time we hit the car. Eric and I decided to grab lunch while she slept on through. When we got home Annaliese got her first bottle of prune juice. She seemed to like it and drank the whole ounce up no problem.
