Reagan had her two month well visit yesterday. I'm very happy to report that she weighs 9 lbs, 14.5 oz, which means that she has gained 6 oz. in a week. This is excellent news!!
She is in the 10-25 %ile for weight, the 75th %ile for length (23 inches long), and the 50th %ile for head circumference. This is up from the 5th %ile for weight that she was in during her 1 month checkup. The doctor and I also discussed a formula switch a bit further. I'm still on the fence about it, but I do think I'd like to try the Neocate. It's the best formula out there, and is supposed to do wonders for babies with Reagan's issues, especially the severe reflux.
I think about it this way: as a Mom, can I say that I have done *everything* I can for my child? And my answer is... not quite yet. Switching her formula to the best out there is the ONE thing I haven't done yet. Yes, it's expensive. $149/case. And insurance doesn't always cover it, especially if it isn't deemed absolutely medically necessary, which is iffy in Reagan's case because even though she has several issues, she is gaining weight and that tends to be the deciding factor.
I'm going to think about it some more over the next few days.
Meanwhile, we've been having quite a bit of fun over here.
