4 months, 10 pounds

Recently Claire had her 4 month well check with our pediatrician. We knew she was a little thing but had no idea that she was losing weight instead of gaining. She's only 10 lb, 8 oz at 4 months. That's 12 oz lighter than she was at 11 weeks. So, obviously, fattening up Claire has dominated our household. We're supplementing her feedings and eliminating her exposure to dairy products as there's also a concern she may be slow to gain weight due to allergic reactions affecting her absorption of nutrients.

On a brighter note, the pediatrician was very impressed with her strength and alertness. She may be small, but she's spunky!
