The New Guy on the Block

Yesterday we saw our new pediatrician. Dr. Van Ostenbridge, they call him Dr. V.O. for short. It went well. He said it seems Aggie is being well cared for by all the other Dr.'s, he feels comfortable with all they are doing. The only thing he decided to go against, was the advice to stop nursing. How funny I thought! Since I was pumping and giving Aggie breast milk fortified in her bottles, and some straight fortified formula when I was out of milk, she is still benifiting from both worlds of nutrition. Mike and I have decided to keep doing what we are doing, we want to see what adding extra calories and rice cereal to her milk may or may not do for her. In theory, it should help, and if it does great! If it doesn't, as least me know we explored all the avenues presented to us to prevent surgery. The great thing is I can still nurse her if need be. I did last night at 10pm, and she was so thrilled that she just wanted to smile and coo at me every couple of sips, I highly doubt it added to her nutrition. I do think it did something for her emotional well being. :)
