So we had Evelyn’s doctor’s appointment today and the doctor was most concerned about Evelyn’s resistance to eating solid food, particularly that she isn’t getting enough protein and iron. So we have to try and force to her to eat rice cereal or tofu. We gave her some tofu tonight. We had to strap her into the stroller to stop her from pushing away and I think she swallowed a bit, but it sure isn’t easy. She cried a lot. She just doesn’t get it. Now I am paranoid that she isn’t getting enough to eat with her bottles either, since she drank way less today than other days. Great now I will be counting each mL she drinks and worrying. Her weight is 50th percentile but since we just started weaning it might take a while for it to show in her weight if she isn’t getting enough. It’s so hard to tell if I am crossing the line on forcing her to eat or not and I really don’t want her to end up with some kind of food complex because of this. Tonight she kept refusing the bottle and I really insisted, thinking that she hadn’t had enough. Well she just ended up spitting all the milk back up anyway and went to sleep as happy as can be after that.
This sucks.
