So, we went to the doctor yesterday for Xander's 4 month checkup. He now weighs 18 lbs which puts him in the 90th percentile for his age, and he is 27.85 inches long which puts him ABOVE THE CHARTS! The doctor said he is the same height as the average 8-month old. So, basically, our baby has grown 6 inches in 4 months. And to think all of the nutrients to fuel that growth came from me....no wonder I've been eating so much dairy!
Speaking of dairy, I stopped drinking milk and eating ice cream to see if that would help with Xander's abdominal discomfort, and it did (either that, or his intestines matured at the same time I stopped)! I only eat cultured dairy now (yogurt, sour cream, cheese, etc) because I read that the bacteria used to culture those things breaks down the lactose. I've been drinking soy milk and only eat frozen yogurt or lactose-free ice cream. Xander hasn't had a bad tummy day since! The doctor says I should continue this for another month or so and then re-introduce the cow's milk and see how he responds.
