When i called the dr yesterday they told me to bring him in. When we got there he was weighed like normal and guess what he weighs... 15 pounds. He has gained almost 3 pounds in one month. Last time he weighed 12 pounds 6 ounces. what a chunk!! Anyway the dr said that they were for sure under dosing him. So they upped the dose and said that should help. And so far so good. he has been alot happier. He only woke twice and even better brody slept until 9 am. yeah!!!
But the bad news is.. He might have to wear a helmet. His head is really missed shaped. It makes me sad because i know that he is going to hate it. but better to have it done now. I won't find out until him four month appt which is the 26.

Poor lil Bents ;( well hopefully the helmet will not be to hard for him.. I know Mase would freak out, he is just getting used to hats let alone a helmet... well it could be worse!!
I read a book by Jenny McCarthy. She explained that her kid had to wear a helmut as well. She was worried about the helmet so she got it painted to look like a football helmut! Anyhoo ... I'm glad that he's sleeping better.
I tagged you! Look at my blog for more info!
I found your blog through other blogs and love to see your cute boys! (I hope you don't mind) My baby had the same problem, they had us got to physical therapy and they showed me some things to do at home to try and help so that we wouldn't have to use the helmet. You can have him sleep between rice socks so that he is turned more onto one side so that he can't turn his head onto the side that is too flat, that is what seemed to help the most. And just try to keep him off his head when you can and get him to turn his head both ways really good so that both sides of his neck muscles and stretched out good. We did this stuff with Kaleb for 4-6 weeks and it helped a ton, he didn't end up having to wear a helmet. Good luck!
