We had another doctors appointment yesterday. Aubrey now weighs 6lbs 13oz... but they are still concerned about her weight even though thats an average weight gain of an ounce a day since her last appointment. I almost got upset about the whole thing but I'm feeding her every time shes hungry and she has been eating A LOT! We figured there's not much more we can do so getting upset about where she falls on some chart will do us no good. The doc did say, however, that now is a good time to start pumping. I did last night and Jer was able to feed Aubrey for the first time! It was nice, but Aubrey definitely likes the real thing better!
The nice thing about pumping, besides daddy getting to feed her, is you can get a better idea of how much she is eating. She is growing and that's a good sign. Hang in there you are doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to pump, not just for daddy time but also so you know how much she's eating...and getting upset could stop your milk. You guys are doing wonderful, don't fret. Get as much rest as you can (I know, I know. But I HAD to say it!) :)
