We worked very hard to get Mama’s milk supply up these past two days and this boy has been eating and pooping like a champ.
We went back to the pediatrician today and he gained 10 ounces in 3 days! Yippee!
Here are the stats:
7/31/15: 8 lbs, 12 oz (Birth Weight), 81st percentile
8/2/15: 8 lbs, 2 oz (Discharge Weight), 43rd percentile8/3/15: 7 lbs, 12 oz (1st Weight Check), 31st percentile
8/6/15: 8 lbs, 6 oz (2nd Weight Check), 46th percentile
The doctor checked him out and was very pleased with his weight gain. She said he would still look yellow for a while longer but was not concerned. So, now Peanut is 6 ounces away from his birth weight and we have another weight check next Wednesday.
