Just a quick update to the few who were wondering:
This week Lisa had another weight and iron check with her doctor.
(At her 9 month well check, she was just shy of the weight Dr. Ronda was hoping she would be at, in addition to being anemic. And oh, the tiny, tiny needles they used to draw her blood...)
So we tried to squeeze in a few more feedings and started giving iron supplements.
And she's gained a whole pound in the past month, which Dr. Ronda was more than pleased with, bringing her to grand total of 16 pounds 14 ounces! She was still slightly anemic, but nothing too significant. We'll continue with the iron supplements and recheck her levels at her next visit.
