Milestone: This past week we started feeding Daisylyn solids. So far she has been doing pretty well. Her doctor recommended that we introduce one new food a week. The GI doctor we have consulted with recommended starting with sweet potatoes and squash, rather than rice cereal and apple sauce which both can be constipating.
Another Milestone: Daisylyn has had digestion and pooping problems since she was born. We have had to give her suppositories for her to able to have a BM. I have been trying to stretch as long a possible between suppositories so she would start going on her own. This at times was difficult for a few reasons. 1. She has had difficulty with constipation 2. She has reflux and will throw up more often with out getting rid of things on the other side 3. She would cry and cry until she got help going #2.
For over a week now she has been able to go on her own which is such a blessing. Her reflux seems to have shown improvement as well. She continues to grow and grow a bit each day. Here are some pictures from her first feeding of solids.
