Last week Charlie was diagnosed with the same issue that Claire had as a baby, a milk protein allergy. This was making him gassy as hell and unable to keep any food in him long enough to do any good. He had lost 4 oz from his last visit to the doctor, which isn't great for a kid his age.
The fix is to have Gretchen wean herself off of dairy and give Charlie this stinky formula in the meantime. It seems to be working. He has gained...wait for it...21 oz. in 5 days. This is, for the math impaired, 1 lb 5 oz in 5 days!!! According to our doctor, this is the most weight he's ever seen a baby gain.
While that puts him just into the 45th percentile for weight, he's well on his way to chubbitude.
