A little is good but not bad.

Oh no I failed to post an article yesterday because of my headache. I told my husband about it yesterday and he said that I might be due to lack of sleep. I don't think I lack sleep though, I was able to sleep 8 hours yesterday and got to sleep in the after with Lil B but yet my head still aches. My husband also has a habit of self-diagnosing. Last time, he self-diagnosed that he has ulcer and it's annoying that he thinks that he really has ulcer without confirmin or asking a doctor, he said that all his symptoms fit but he just checked Google. Well, Google tells us the worst conditions. So I told him the same thing, I told him that I have migraine. He replied, 'baka mataas na tolerance mo sa pain reliever?' and I answered 'No, this is migraine I checked google'. He didn't answer back, again. HAHAHHAA

Anyway, yesterday it was Lil B's check up. It was just a regular check up as her next vaccine will be next month for Japanese Encephalitis.

It was kind of worried because for the last 3 months, Lil B is only gaining a little weight. I know that since she started standing up and became more active physically, she'd really gain not much weight compared to her first few months. But yesterday on her weigh in she only gained 0.05 kg, from 8.2kg to 8.25kg in a month.

I was a bit alarmed and worried because I am thinking if am I feeding her not enough? Well, I feed solids her 4 times a day. Let me share our meal plan.

Breakfast: Yogurt/oatmeal with crackers/bread and she gets to dede after taking a bath

Lunch: Potato/kamote as her carbs/rice, veggies/or green veggies as her ulam or if we have fresh meat like chicken or fish available and then any fruit as her dessert. Dede before taking a nap.

Snack: same with breakfast plan but alternate on what she ate on breakfast. If she ate yogurt for breakfast, I'll give her oatmeal in the afternoon.

Dinner: Same with her lunch, alternate food on what she had for lunch too but a little less compared on what I feed her during lunch.

This meal plan may not be ideal. Our pedia asked if she's still latching and I am pretty sure that she's getting just enough milk from me. She advised us to give he more food than the usual and give her more protein food.

I feel like she's gaining weight though. Her gaining not so much weight is not that alarming considering the fact that me and my husband have a slim body type (before I gave birth at least).

Now we have mombod and dadbod now hahahaha!

I think I don't have to worry about it, I will just take our pedia's advice to give her more food for now because all of the nutrients that Lil B eats were just burning enough for her physical activities. She's also a sweaty lil girl, I have to condsider that too.

The thing that got me at ease is she did grow about an cm long. Knowing that she's growing and still looks healthy is already enough for me.
