I had a weight check yesterday for Isaac. He was 7lbs, .03 oz. So, just a tiny bit over 7 lbs. He’s surpassed his birth weight. That’s the milestone our doctor was looking for to indicate that she wouldn’t need to see us again until the regular 2 month check up. I’m very happy that he put on 13 ounces in one week. 1/2 – 1 ounce a day is kind of the standard for how much weight a newborn should be gaining.
As long as Isaac is nursing well, I don’t need to pump or offer him a bottle. I’ve cut way back and am only offering him a few bottles (just an ounce at a time)a day. However, he is seeming more hungry/cranky so he’s been nursing closer to every 2 hours instead of 3 hours. Hopefully, we’ll be able to space it out farther soon.
We’re almost 2 weeks into this adventure and I’m feeling very sleepy!
