I didn't know....

That a baby girl could eat soooooo much!  Cora's appetite suddenly took a turn and this child can put away baby cereal, and food like a pro.  For the past few months Cora has been eating all day long, a little bite here and there.  A few bites of everyone's food (within reason) and lots of milk.  She was always signing for "milk"  and "more milk"  and after a few bites of food would say "all done".  I never really worried about it, just thought it was great that she was eating all day long along with the milk bottles. 

Let me tell you.......since last Friday's visit and the change to her meds, Cora has taken off in the eating department.  Breakfast is still the same -  a cup of oatmeal / yogurt mix and a bottle.  The rest of the day is where the change has really been seen.  She is now eating a solid three meals and two solid snack times in between.

I texted Dr. Statler last night and asked her "Do you think that the change in meds has increased Cora's appetite?"  In keeping the food journal for Cora I have been able to literally see the growth in her appetite that last few days and wanted to share the results and ask that important question.
 Dr. Statler's answer went like this " Probably not increasing her appetite, but rather no longer suppressing it!!! We'll take it and be thrilled!!! Whooo hoooo!!!  Go Cora!!!"

I agree 100%.
