Did you know that babies are supposed to gain .5 to 1 ounces everyday? I just learned that myself because our little Beckett has weighed the same for about 2 weeks. We've been going to the doctor (and doing tons of laundry---our burp cloth is seriously a bath towel) a lot these last weeks and have now been ordered to get some tests (an x-ray and ultrasound) and see a gastroenterologist. Hopefully, it turns out he just has bad reflux, and the specialist can recommend a better regime of medicine than we're doing now. In any case, Alex and I will just be glad to have more answers and solutions, so we can get the little guy growing. Again, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, but think good thoughts for us anyway...
