The 9th Month Ashley & Austin's Journal We have now made it 9 months! Yea. Austin went for his check-up and all was well. The only thing that was really brought up was Austin has only gained 1 lb in 3 months. The doctor said that it was probley due to a lack of sleeping. He doesn't take naps during the day and he is using up all kinds of energy. When I got home I called my LLL leader. She said that I should slow down on solid foods (we were up to 3 times a day), always make sure that I nurse him before he eats solids, and nurse him as offten as I can. So with us now doing all of this hopefully he will gain a little weight. Another new thing is we moved Austin's crib into our room. This is something that I was really aginst, but now he and I are both sleeping much better. He was waking up every 20 min. before, but now I get 2 hrs of sleep.
