Julia Update
I heard back from the doctor a couple days before Christmas concerning Julia's weight loss. He says that she's eating the appropriate amount of solids based on her food log. The next step was to see how much fluid she's getting. I took her in yesterday to do a pre-feeding and post-feeding weighing. Apparently the problem is that she's not getting enough milk. Now we have to supplement with formula. It's not breaking my heart quite as much as I thought it would. I guess the whole situation with Chloe as a baby makes this easier. However, I've been trying for two days now to get Julia to take a bottle or a sippy cup, and she wants nothing to do with it! And now she's even decreasing the amount of solids she wants. Very frustrating!! I'm not quite sure what this will all mean in the near future if she continues to refuse drinking. Hopefully she'll take the formula very quickly.
