Nutrition

Caroline is 15.5 pounds!!!! We went to see the nutritionist today to evaluate her diet and caloric intake. Since she is now a one year old we are moving up to big girl milk. It is not cow milk, but it is similar to a pediasure type product. It will still be delivered to our house with her pump bags and hopefully covered mostly by insurance. It is a higher calorie/ounce. We will adjust her feeds accordingly so she will still get 484 calories per her milk intake and the additional calories will come from solids. Lots of math and science behind these decisions. I gave her a taste of the new milk and she was not so keen. It is like a milkshake. Of course I tasted it first!!!! It is much more tastier than infant formula. No odor and it is vanilla flavored. Hopefully Carley does not get into it!!!!HA!HA! She is growing on nice curve on her growth chart. She is proportionate to herself. Her weight is just right - not too fat, but a little chubby. She appears chubbier due to her lack of muscle tone - which makes sense to me. Me too. We will start our new milk after our trip to avoid any complications. Have a safe holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!
