Layla is 5 months & two weeks old and about 4.6lbs the last time I weighed her. I previously posted here about Layla gaining 1lb in a month....well, oh my God, she gained an entire pound in 2 weeks!!
She went from 3.4lbs to 4.4 when she was four & 1/2 months old. Coincidentally, it was about the same time I changed her food to mixing Blue Buffalo hard food with Blue Buffalo soft food. I think I am giving her way too much food maybe. She does look a little pudgy...lol, its just when I'm putting the food in the bowl it looks so little I add more! Then when she's eating it I look down at her stomach and imagine how small it is and how in comparison maybe I did give her a little too much.
Anyway holy cow I did not expect as many growth spurts as she has had. Over all I'm thrilled she's thriving! I really did not want her to exceed 5lbs though because I take her pretty much everywhere I go and I have a bad back as it is. Carrying her anywhere for long periods of time is going to be tough if she exceeds it (but what can I say, regardless I will sacrifice because I love her!).
When will she slow down in the growing process? I'm pretty sure I'm overfeeding her, but I'm not sure. Anyone have pictures of how much they feed their babies? What do you guys think? I will take a picture of her later today and post it
EDIT: Also! How long did it take for babies to stop sniffling after the bordetella shot? She got it two weeks ago and since then her sniffling has subsided but she does still do it occasionally. Would it be ok to give her the next shot this Thursday or should I wait?
