This week we revisited egg again to determine whether Clara has an allergy or not. We only used the egg yolk this time as the egg white is more likely to induce an allergic reaction (we will try this again at a later date). I kept it quite simple and just hard boiled an egg, popped out the yolk and mashed it up with a little bit of my milk. She ate some of it from a spoon and the rest of it I spread onto some buttered toast fingers. Luckily, she seemed absolutely fine afterwards so I think egg yolks are safe! Yay!

We have had quite a few days this week where Clara has only eaten two meals for the week – her appetite just seems to be so small at the moment and on days where I have given her three meals she will sometimes only have a mouthful of each so I thought we would go back to basics a bit. I’m playing it by ear each day depending on her mood and her nap timings and trying not to stress about it too much as I know that she is still gaining weight well.
I also altered her schedule yesterday so that we are dropping another milk feed (bringing it down to four during the day and 1-2 overnight) so hopefully that will boost her appetite for food in the coming weeks. We have also pretty much dropped to only two naps on most days, although this will obviously be a bit flexible each day depending on how early she wakes up and how tired she is during the day.
